alt Hacker NewsEvery time I read these titles, I wonder if people are for some reason pushing the narrative that Claude is way smarter than it really is, or if I'm using it wrong.
They want me to code AI-first, and the amount of hallucinations and weird bugs and inconsistencies that Claude produces is massive.
Lots of code that it pushes would NOT have passed a human/human code review 6 months ago.

What models are you using, on what type of codebases, with what tools?
Apart from obvious PR (if you would need to lean into AI wave a bit this of all places is it) and fanboyism which is just part of human nature, why can't both be true?
It can properly excel in some things while being less than helpful in others. These are computers from the beginning, 1000x rehashed and now with an extra twist.
It's always the inconsistencies which amaze me, from the article:
> I have so many bugs in the Linux kernel that I can’t report because I haven’t validated them yet
You have "so many?" Are they uncountable for some reason? You "haven't validated" them? How long does that take?
> found a total of five Linux vulnerabilities
And how much did it cost you in compute time to find those 5?
These articles are always fantastically light on the details which would make their case for them. Instead it's always breathless prognostication. I'm deeply suspicious of this.
