> Looking at the kind of mistakes Claude made, it seemed like a human could make those mistakes too (very useful feedback for us to improve our API ).

This is something we've found for our API -- just having LLMs attempt to use it helps us identify things that we haven't documented well or placed enough emphasis on (for things that are critical but are non-obvious or may be drowned out by other less important information). Improvements that help the LLM tend to be good for developers too.






Yes. Fun fact, Instant got the `create` method because of how many times LLMs hallucinated it.

Life imitates art: afar you’re describing there is basically _The Secret_ (I.e. if I wish hard enough for something then eventually it will come true), except it’s LLMs that get wish-fulfilment, not us.

This made me chuckle, you're right. In a sense it comes back to us, as LLMs are trained on our intuitions.

Huh, you've reframed The Secret for me - now I see it being, if you wish hard enough for something then eventually the Universe will make it so, just to shut you up.
