Lie… no hallucinate…they lie and make shit up… just like a real hooman!! :))
Yeah, had that on my very first attempt at using it.
It used a component that didn’t exist. I called it out and it went “you are correct, that was removed in <older version>. Try this instead.” and created an entirely new set of bogus components and functions. This cycle continued until I gave up. It knows what code looks like, and what the excuses look like and that’s about it. There’s zero understanding.
It’s probably great if you’re doing some common homework (Javascript Fibonacci sequence or something) or menial task, but for anything that might reach the edges of its “knowledge”, it has no idea where those edges may lie so just bullshits.
It’s 2024. No more quality control, no more double-checking, not in any industry at this point. We’re all alpha testers. Not even beta testers.
As the old entertainment industry adage goes when anything goes wrong on the set, “we’ll fix it in post.”
From the article…
hallucinated software packages – package names invented by generative AI models, presumably during project development
daily PSA that something like [insert number of packages] are deprecated on shipment of software.
Thanks guys, very cool.
