alt Hacker NewsNot only have i never had a coworker as bad as these people describe, the point is as you say: why would I want an LLM that works like these people's shitty coworkers?
My worst coworkers right now are the ones using Claude to write every word of code and don't test it. These are people who never produced such bad code on their own.
So the LLMs aren't just as bad as the bad coworkers, they're turning good coworkers into bad ones!
Couple of reasons, but mainly speed and avaiability.
I can give Claude a job anytime and it will do it immediately.
And yes, I will have to double check anything important, but I am way better and faster at checking, than doing it myself.
So obviously I don't want a shitty LLM as coworker, but a competent one. But the progress they made is pretty astonishing and they are good enough now that I started really integrating them.
