They're just not very good at figuring out the right level of abstraction for stuff like recursion/loops, often output code that solves a different, easier problem, are extremely repetitive rather than using functions/imports, etc
-
Ehhh, the issues they make are often fairly significant, not low level syntax stuff

Honestly like I think a lot of the cynicism about AI products on my part specifically is that at no point have I been wowed by the system because my expectations are always set sky high, often by very confident hype from people who don't seem to have an obvious financial interest

Ig like ML feels like magic to me by itself, but I've priced that in and am wanting LLMs to do something more above and beyond and just don't feel it
-
Honestly like they never feel magic to me, it never breaks my sense that they're identifying a task from a prompt then doing normal ML on that task

I blame @ptnobel.bsky.social (who shared that article) personally for my dissapointment, is what I'm saying

I will say that I sympathize a bit with the yawn reaction because I'm always disappointed since I hear the hype first then try the product. I'm sure if I hadn't heard the hype I'd find it more impressive
