Can LLMs not do this for you? Or would they go too far?

Can LLMs not do this for you? Or would they go too far?
- chrz 1mo agoThey add and add new code to the point when adding more is going to become very messy and then spagetti
- greazy 1mo agoWhat I was suggesting is to ask the LLM to compare function usage across files to identify overlap/redundancy. The idea is to use the LLM to analyse the code base first before taking any action. I think I'm suggesting a centaur approach.
- nomel 1mo agoNo, the problem is they're still really dumb, and lack the ability to make logical connections that are obvious to us. "should I walk or drive to the carwash" being a very recent example of the larger problem.
- greazy 1mo agoBut they are very good at identifying patterns though. This task requires little logic IMO. So why not leverage LLM to perform redundancy analysis?
