alt Hacker NewsI don't understand. You specifically:
> neglected to include my usual "zero-framework" constraint in the prompt
And then your complaint is that it included a bunch of dependencies?
AI's do what you tell them. I don't understand how you conclude:
> If a simple editor requires 89 third-party packages to exist
It obviously doesn't. Why even bother complaining about an AI's default choices when it's so trivial to change them just by asking?
My main point is that we need to expertly drive these tools. I forgot the trivial instruction and ended up with something that more closely resembles modern software instead of what I personally value. AI still requires our expertise to guide it. I'm not sure if that will be the case in a year, but it is today.
