Use it two years ago. It is wrong.
"It's getting better EVERY DAY!"
Use it a month later. It is still wrong.
"It's getting better EVERY DAY!"
Repeat for months on end. It is always wrong in different ways. It even finds new and unique ways to be wrong.
"It's getting better EVERY DAY!"
Every time.
Personally, I just think the dipshits who use LLMs are just fucking morons that don't realize it's wrong, or they wouldn't use it because it is still shit. But, fuck me for not wanting to use the planet-destroying technology that lies for pennies.
At first I was bit mad to be called a dipshit, but hey, what do you say to someone who can’t grasp the concept of something being actively worked on and improved. You know, of something being developed. Lol, you’re right of course. It’s just ChatGPT 3.5 that finds all those bugs in the Linux kernel.
You just don’t know, don’t you. You probably even don’t know the difference between a chatbot and an Agent. All you know is empty phrases and hyperbolic statements. You know, it’s fine. Get your upvotes from your ignorant, uninformed circlejerk and yell at the clouds. Good luck.
In that case, maybe they should take down what they’ve released to production until they finish the development. It isn’t finished yet.
Those bugs that generative AI found in Linux were some old bugs that, and I cannot stress this enough, required elevated access to your system and only crashed the machine. Basically, it wasn't found because it never actually affected anybody, but sure, take your win. You were lacking them.
And hey man, if you caught some strays on that comment, maybe consider going outside. There are people out there that could enjoy being around you if you stopped talking about AI! They are rather nice because they typically like other people and don't call them Luddites for not wanting to kill the planet tp avoid writing an email.
But, sure, let's play the dumbfuck game where AI proponents use their definitions to pretend that a chatbot (a thing that doesn't really matter to LLMs in general since they've existed for fucking decades) and an agent (basically the same shit as an LLM but directed) are things that truly matter in the discourse. They don't. People that don't want their brain rotted from the inside out just hate AI. Not wanting to turn your brain off seems pretty fucking normal to me, but maybe it doesn't to you because the thoughts in your head are a nightmare to experience.
