LLMs have already improved sufficiently that people are worried their programming skills are decaying, debugging skills included (based on the article I referenced). I'm curious to see how you envision LLMs improving without this not b

I agree that you still need programming skills (today, at least). Yet people are using those programming skills less and less, as you can clearly see in the article [1] I referenced. You are also making the assumption that LLMs won't i

My post did not take the position that understanding problems isn't important. Using LLMs can even help you understand the problem better. And it can bring you towards the solution faster. Using an LLM to solve a problem does not preve

The trajectory of LLMs "routinely producing incorrect results" is heading downwards as we are getting more advanced reasoning models with test-time compute. I don't know whether you used some of the more recent models like Cl

It works with this prompt. I guess you have to explicitly state you want it to search the web.

Asked it if it could search the web and it said yes. Followed up with "Can you tell me the latest news from Ukraine?" and it responded with "I'm sorry, but I'm a language model and I can't do that"

You pretty much summed up the drawbacks of the embeddings approach. In my experience it's pretty hard to extract the relevant parts of text, especially when the text is uniform.

This may be a silly question, but I'm not quite getting what all the fuss is about. Let's say your current username is abc#1234. When you get prompted to change your username, you will be able to change it to @abc#1234. You can st
