@tokyo_0 @yaelwrites code is different. And, it's the one thing I think LLMs can actually do effectively. LLMs have no taste or desire, so they can't write or make art for shit, but if there is a clear success criteria, as there can be when writing code, they have become astonishingly effective. In the hands of someone who kind of understands what's going on and what is possible and what a good solution would look like, they can deliver working code very quickly.

@tokyo_0 @yaelwrites but, they blow smoke if you let them. Your idea is amazing, gonna be a big success. There are no problems with your design, because you made it. And, when they run into problems with the design, they don't know how to say so, and they'll keep iterating and changing the criteria until they can call it successful. But, yeah...they're all Yes Men. And some people are seemingly particularly susceptible to that. I get mad. A damned machine cannot tell me anything about taste.
