alt Hacker NewsYes. I see it hallucinate method names for 3rd party libraries constantly.
It’s useful, but when users here say they’re vibe coding 98% of their work, I have to think they’re not working on anything complex.

Hmm no way. Ive used to see hallucinations like 50% of the time prompting gpt3.5 for simple functions.
I don't remember the last time ive seen a made up library/methods these days and Im definitely using way more for more complex stuff. The tool calling changed the game.
Even for work I do almost 100% of my coding telling claude what to do. I mean I break down the tasks and tell it more or less exactly what I want but I find "rename this thing across these two repos" easier than doing it myself
I ran into the non existent methods and functions far more a year ago than I do today. I hadn’t even considered it as I don’t write a lot of code, Most of my job is talking with people to understand the problems and to drive strategy.
