Or just learn any of the real automation tools that have been programmed by real programmers over the last half century?

    Recently someone lamented that just asking for an alarm to be set cost them tons of money and didn't even work right..

    It was foolish enough to let LLM go to town on automation, but for open ended scenarios, I at least got the logic even if it was stupidly optimistic.

    But implementing an alarm? These people don't even have rationality to their enthusiasm...

    If I remember right, that post wasn't designed to highlight a practical use-case, but rather to set up a simple task as a "how could I apply this?" type of experimentation. The guy got roasted for it, but I think it's a very reasonable thing to try because it's a simple task you can see the direct result of in practice.

    The cost problem was highlighted as well, because if such a simple task is a problem, it can't possibly scale well.

    You ask the llm to code you an alarm not to actually be an alarm. It’s not an alarm. It’s a language model.

    Maybe I’m too autistic for this shit.
