and probably a barely modified knock-off of some github project that it trained on

You're so upset that you have to invent an imaginary hypothesis to make yourself feel better.

[superze → sawjet]

Yes, very imaginary to think that the code comes from pretrained data and copy pasting whole blocks. It's not like this is exactly how LLMs work.

[snet0 → superze]

Correct, that's not how LLMs work [0].

Are you a frequent user of LLMs? That "copy pasting whole blocks" mental model doesn't hold up to regular usage, in my opinion.

[ChickeNES → simonw]

They probably saw that report years ago of copilot dumping out the fast inverse sqrt function, and assume that's all they can do. From experience most anti-LLM people have either never used them, or used them back in the 3.5-4 era and then never again, though you might have even more experience with those people than I do. :P

they're wrong but they are right that this isn't interesting
