And a few seconds latter you get this. Looks like the person using it have at least some idea of what they are doing, so I hope for the best. And might actually end up using this work at some point.
I'm pretty sure bugs were accepted into the Linux kernel well before the existence of LLMs.
This is something which I have been saying from a year back, albeit a different form -- "I only ask questions to LLMs if I already know the answer".
They are not supposed to replace coders, but kind of boost their productivity.
This usecase is also quite good.
Not a developer here. I've been thinking about this because I hoped LLMs would be able to help me learn things at first, like a patient tutor I can ask all my stupid questions and it'll never get annoyed with me. Since it can't do that though, because it lies all the time, I don't think I have a use case for it at all... About all it can do for me is rewrite or summarise English, and it doesn't even do a particularly good job of that most of the time so I end up saving time by doing that work myself anyway. I suppose it's pretty good at translating, but I haven't tried it for that as I don't have a lot of call to speak foreign languages.
