alt Hacker NewsI found chatGPT to be bad at VimGolfing.
``` Here is a 35 keystrokes solution that beat your 36 keystrokes solution ! <89 keystrokes> ```
And then it keeps looping in the same way if you ask it about the seahorse emoji (or sometimes just lie about the keystrokes number).
In fact that's not surprising, what is rather surprising is that some of the solutions actually work (>= 100 keystrokes)
They should probably train LLMs to be bad at vim golf. The whole point of vim’s funky language is that human keypresses are very valuable and should not be wasted. Saving keystrokes for an LLM is a non-goal at best.
