      Idk why people go to hurdles to defend bad software engineering only when it comes to LLMs

        Because that other stuff used to work before the company fired all of QA and local devs. Then the bugs after that were used to justify LLMs to replace the “shitty coders” that outsourcing to a sweatshop usually entails. At least with the sweatshops there was some argument to be made that the people working there either had no other choice, or a slim chance they actually cared about their output and made it so at least it would do the bare minimum.

        Now that corporate wants to justify their hype and investment in AI to attract the moneyed entities, they will go to any lengths to show it actually works. Even if the Emperor has no clothes on!

      I mean, regular ok Google used to get it right. Understanding the context is the basic thing digital assistants used to have. If I tell you to come meet me on the 13th, would you assume Feb or April?
