  • Artificial Intelligent is supposed to be intelligent.

    For the record, AI is not supposed to be intelligent.

    It just has to appear intelligent. It can be all smoke-and-mirrors, giving the impression that it’s smart enough - provided it can perform the task at hand.

    That’s why it’s termed artificial intelligence.

    The subfield of Artificial General Intelligence is another story.

    Spaghetti is all messy and tangled up; spaghetti code is the same.

    when the order of execution was obfuscated due to excessive jumps and GOTOs

    That’s one way to make your code messy and thus achieve spaghetti code.

    In general, when some code is very poorly written, it becomes spaghetti code.



  • best answer is the most visible

    no wasting your time

    These two points aren’t always true in my experience. On more than a few occasions, I have encountered posts that look similar to the problems that I am facing, but because of a slight nuance (on the surface), the answers suggested won’t help.

    Usually, my search would hit a deadend here. At this point, I guess the best course of action is to create a new post. Unfortunately, these new posts would then get closed as a duplicate of the similar post - even though the problem in that particular context still hasn’t been solved

    Practical applications for LLMs such as?

    Translation and voice-to-text (and vice versa) applications to name a couple.

    Personally, I have been using LLMs to help me code. They are not perfect, occasionally generating nonsense, and some are downright awful (looking at you, VSCode Copilot). But when they get it right, they saved me so much time.

    I know LLMs are associated with tech oligarchs currently, but to dismiss all LLMs as useless impractical is downright unfair.
