Yeah, I can at least understand why people would ask a chatbot about bits of codes, but feeding it an entire codebase in one go and expecting something coherent out of it is mind boggling. Awful awful.

Ok I found a similar tool in the tweets replies and here’s what it suggests prompting the chatbot with

This file contains my entire codebase. Please review the overall structure and suggest any improvements or refactoring opportunities, focusing on maintainability and scalability.

Based on the codebase in this file, please generate a detailed README.md that includes an overview of the project, its main features, setup instructions, and usage examples.

Analyze the code in this file and suggest a comprehensive set of unit tests for the main functions and classes. Include edge cases and potential error scenarios.

Review the codebase for adherence to coding best practices and industry standards. Identify areas where the code could be improved in terms of readability, maintainability, and efficiency. Suggest specific changes to align the code with best practices.

This file contains the entire codebase of library. Please provide a comprehensive overview of the library, including its main purpose, key features, and overall architecture.

These people use chatbots daily yet still seem to be under the impression that LLMs are competent. I don’t even know what to say.

i’d tend to agree if we were talking about something that is actually interesting instead of an incredibly generic piece of kitsch art.

… and then what…

art is a process not a thing on a screen. get rid of the tension between idea and realisation and you get rid of most of what is interesting about art. (besides i’m sorry for your mind if your imagination is adequately represented by the output of stock image generators.)

yeah, Hirst can be a bit of a hack and the names of the pieces are super cheugy but he’s definitely made some really evocative stuff

i … have no idea whatsoever what the use case is here … you make the chatbot generate the code instead of cloning the repo? or it’s like generating an API that doesn’t work or something?

Very true, since it’s all relative no one should ever make an aesthetic judgement. No one should have thoughts about the value of art. No one should have any reaction to art other than an acknowledgement of its existence.

god these people are fucking losers

That’s absolutely right.

I really want to go through your finances and see how many subscriptions you don’t need I can reroute to my bank account.

Appropriately for this sort of meaningless bilge, the name is also bullshit. The way to say “space opera” in French is “space opera”.

I read that as “vitality cure” and didn’t think twice about it, seemed the appropriate level of evil.

It’s just a tool, like cars! My definition of tools is things that are being forced on us even though they’re terrible for the environment and make everyone’s life worse!

love a good second paragraph jumpscare

Do you think they still say all that bullshit even when they’re not screenshooting it for twitter? Probably, right

That might actually be the most infuriatingly US-centric post I’ve ever read, and that’s really saying something! God!!!

And it’s talking about “The World” in the title of course!

Anime – what started as a niche genre of manga and animation

Off to a strong start I see

god that’s just really icky

I hated Inception (and Dark Knight) so much that I can now hate every new Nolan movie without having to watch them. Bliss!
