    “I gave an LLM a wildly oversimplified version of a complex human task and it did pretty well”

    For how long will we be forced to endure different versions of the same article?

    The study said 86.66% of the generated software systems were “executed flawlessly.”

    Like I said yesterday, in a post celebrating how ChatGPT can do medical questions with less than 80% accuracy, that is trash. A company with absolute shit code still has virtually all of it “execute flawlessly.” Whether or not code executes it not the bar by which we judge it.

    Even if it were to hit 100%, which it does not, there’s so much more to making things than this obviously oversimplified simulation of a tech company. Real engineering involves getting people in a room, managing stakeholders, navigating conflicting desires from different stakeholders, getting to know the human beings who need a problem solved, and so on.

    LLMs are not capable of this kind of meaningful collaboration, despite all this hype.
