I spent about two hours last night trying to get a consistent and accurate answer out of Claude regarding a set of graphics APIs. I then went the old fashioned way to find most of the articles outside of a couple of sources were also incorrect API slop. I can't override methods that don't exist and never have existed in an API, but that's what the clankers have latched on to.

Just before that, at work, I found a bug in an AI driven refactor of code. For some reason, both the original refactor and the ai driven autocomplete kept trying to send the wrong parameters to a function. It was determined to get it wrong, even after I manually fixed it. [Edit - I should also mention the AI driven code review agent tried to do the same thing. The clankers are consistent.]

This is why familiar language matters. Because at some point, you'll have bugs that the AI can't fix. And by the way, I use LLM tools at work and have a set of skills that improve my productivity, if not my QoL. But I still need to be able to dive into the language, the build tools, and fix things.
