And frankly, just writing correct, efficient code. In my experience, AI is very good at explaining code and writing small, fairly straightforward programs. But when I ask it to do something more complex, the code is often just not good-- and the more niche the subject area, the worse the code gets. As an example, I recently asked an LLM for help using a Google Slides client API, and the code was almost completely incorrect (hallucinated methods, etc). | 120,000 | null |
