How anyone thinks they are productive with llm tools is baffling (sh.itjust.works)

It has to be pure ignorance.

I only have used my works stupid llm tool a few times (hey, I have to give it a chance and actually try it before I form opinions)

Holy shit it's bad. Every single time I use it I waste hours. Even simple tasks, it gets details wrong. I correct it constantly. Then I come back a couple months later, open the same module to do the same task, it gets it wrong again.

These aren't even tools. They're just shit. An idiot intern is better.

Its so angering people think this trash is good. Get ready for a lot of buildings and bridges to collapse because of young engineers trusting a slop machine to be accurate on details. We will look back on this as the worst era in computing.

Or that it's not right for their use case.

Like someone throwing a bunch of data into an LLM and trying to use it to process it into a chart or something. It can work, but it was never designed to be used in that manner.

I've got an acquaintance who does that, despite the fact that python would be a better thing to use.

Personally, I sometimes run a few saved images thorough a multi-modal 8 gigaparameter local model on my computer, so I can automate giving them more descriptive names than randomnumbers.png, and that seems to work fine. I could do it by hand, but it would take hours and days, compared to minutes, and since it's not too important, it doesn't matter if it's wrong. The resource usage is also less of an issue, since it's my own computer.
