what sound does a falling tree make if no one is listening? I’ve asked LLMs to write code for me in fields I have little background knowledge, and then had to debug the whole thing after essentially having to learn the language and field. On the other hand, for things I am well versed in, I can debug the output and avoid entire swathes of failed states, by having a clear prompt. Its why I now insist that any discussion on GenAI projects also have the speaker mention the level of seniority they have ( proxy for S/W eng experience), Their familiarity with the language, the project itself (level of complexity) - more so than the output. I also guarantee - that most people have VERY weak express knowledge of how their brains actually work, but deep inherent reflexes and intuitions. | ||
