It’s funny how disconnected we all are from each other. This is exactly how LLMs felt a year or so to many programmers.

Useless toys, sometimes useful toys, ok good toys, ok.. we might have to look at this more carefully, oh god.

This loop however is quite tiring to watch happen over and over again. Is there really nothing we can do but just watch from the sidelines and watch our fellow men engage in their particular grief and copium filled mourning cycle?

You keep saying LLMs can’t do this but I get the correct result each time without drama.

Cursor uses Grok so far as I can tell, which is.. not great and I hope you did not try ChatGPT free or 5.6 or Luna.. you cannot unfortunately just say “Claude” or “ChatGPT”. Their lineup is sufficiently complex - each with their own failure modes - to warrant some further specification.

I think you are “directionally” correct, as these clankers like to say, because language models are indeed not known for their arithmetic wizardry. However, as my correct answers show, they can do it just fine.

Size, unfortunately, matters.

Devs are just early. What you describe knowledge workers doing is what devs did a year (or two) ago and in fact my dev colleagues still use it like that. Web interface with a chat, copy pasting code.

It’s a phase.

“The scale reads −(100 g + the weight of the empty container).”

I literally gave it your question. What models did you test?
