>AI development doesn't involve luck to any appreciable degree

Reading this while I'm prompting for the third time to fix a 100+ line function is amusing, to say the least. I don't care about the definition of "appreciable", but I definitely have to repeat myself to get stuff done, sometimes even to undo things I never told it to touch.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

There is certainly randomness in model output that the user has to work around, but sending the same prompt with the same context (or even worse- with added entropy leaving the previous failed prompt in the context) over and over again akin to pulling a slot machine lever is certainly user error and not the way to "hold it".

That sounds like a process problem. LLMs, like any tool, work better if you don't use them in the naive "do this" way. This works well for me:

The "you're holding it wrong" trope is even more tired than the gambling trope.

If you can't get results with the thing I'm getting results with, what other explanation would you give?

That logic only makes sense if you and the other person are working on the exact same kinds of projects.

[daveguy]

Exact same kinds of projects with the exact same development environment, models, etc. Either he's never worked with a development team or he doesn't consider things outside his own perspective. shrug

What results lmao? Literally everything you've shared has zero-value - yes I checked them out. Thinking wtf is this?

[stavros]

What a useless comment to leave. Of course it's a throwaway account.
