I've found a variant of the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect with regards to LLM coding. They're really magical if you're not familiar with the language, domain, or frameworks you are trying to use. But if you're familiar with those things then you'll often catch them lying to your face and producing a lot of plausible nonsense.


It's dropping off hard, though. I think web-search fixed a lot of it.

It used to be terrible for car repair advice, now it's mostly right.
