Without this detail, the whole body of work is anecdotal.
To be fair, most of the commentary on both sides of the LLM conversation are pretty anecdotal, which is increasingly looking like a structural problem given that any solid evidence goes in the training set in about an hour.
Definitely. Otherwise it would have required a lot more than a single blog post. It is an observation, not anything rigorous with a large number of examples, and decent statistics.
It doesn’t require a whole more. 1) the full transcript of the llm exchange and 2) version numbers for the llm would go a long way.

It is basically a long winded way of saying in a bug report, “it doesn’t work”.
