alt Hacker News> don't know how more people don't experience this, but staring at an llms output be confidently wrong eventually to get there in the process, or looking at the commands its running and see some really stupid things its doing drives me crazy to the point i will just stop it before it answers, i cannot handle something being that confidently wrong (even though it'll probably still get there in the end)
They do? Internet is filled with people complaining about it

My work pays me the same if I kick off a Codex session and go practice guitar. My workflow now is like, prompt LLM, answer some emails or review some code, get a coffee, see what it barfed out.

Burning up tokens/credits needlessly as it does so. That might be a non-issue for people using LLMs through their work but as someone doing AI on a limited budget that's an issue that drives me up a tree!

I don’t know how these people have stayed so oblivious to it happening all around them for decades. LLMs didn’t invent it.
