Spy, in Can you trust ChatGPT’s package recommendations?

ChatGPT and similar LLMs don't really "know" anything. They can only predict what the answer should look like. This means that they can't be trusted for much and their answers should be reviewed before used, because anything they produce will sound correct by default.

johnkbin,

Tried getting chatGPT to write a simple python json parser and it butchered it. After a few attempts I gave up and just read the documentation lol

activepeople,

and the devs copy+pasting code from it probably are aware of that it doesn't know anything, and that it is likely synthesizing something based on StackOverflow, which they used to happily copy+paste from a few months ago.

If the libraries ChatGPT suggests work ~80% of the time, this leaves an opportunity for someone to provide a "solution" the other 20%.

eddythompson,

This is not my problem though.

When I get code from ChatGPT/Copilot there is always the option that's a complete hallucination. When there is a change by a human, I assume they at the very least weren't hallucinating code. They can still be wrong of course, but I just don't think "oh, this is all probably nonsense"

This is pretty much my experience. It did a pretty good job with the grunt work of setting up a Qt UI in python, but something like 5/20 imports were wrong.

Sick! Now it just needs programmable shaders, texture sampling, and a PBR implementation :P

Is there a link here? I can't find it on lemmy.

Yes, a link is attached to the post. It seems that something has changed again. It's hard to keep up with Lemmy. I mainly use szmer.info, which has an older version.

sexy_peach,

Thanks. That's weird, apart from the confusing latest update that implemented the language settings nothing ever changes here. And I think that's okay.

Yes, this is a fantastic change. I have already implemented it on my end. I overlooked the linking part. You can see that the link is functional from the szmer.info. I can see where the problem lies now, and I will release a fix tomorrow. I will also encourage @harcesz to update. ;)

It's because kbin uses the url field for the link. This is only meant for aliases of the Activitypub object. I stead you should use attachment. Using url was causing problems for Mastodon, you can find discussions about this on the issue tracker.

I caught that and fixed it today, so it should be okay now. That part was commented out in the code, and I can't remember why. Currently, I'm heavily focused on developing the core, but I'm trying to stay up to date with the latest updates. However, if you notice anything concerning, please let me know. The federation is a priority ;) @sexy_peach

sexy_peach,

Awesome
