What kinds of things do you with these LLMs?
I feel like I’m good at understanding context. I’ve been working in AI startups over the last 2 years. Currently at an AI search startup.
Managing context for info retrieval is the name of the game.
But for my personal use as a developer, they’ve caused me much headache.
Answers that are subtly wrong in such a way that it took me a week to realize my initial assumption based on the LLM response was totally bunk.
This happened twice. With the yjs library, it gave me half incorrect information that led me to misimplementing the sync protocol. Granted it’s a fairly new library.
And again with the web history api. It said that the history stack only exists until a page reload.
The examples it gave me ran as it described, but that isn’t how the history api works.
I lost a week of time because of that assumption.
I’ve been hesitant to dive back in since then. I ask questions every now and again, but I jump off much faster now if I even think it may be wrong.
