they can, they just can't do it well. at no point does any LLM understand what it's doing.
This is how people do things as well imo. LLM does the same thing on some level but it is just not good enough for majority of use cases
Tell me again how LLMs were going to make everything better?
LLMs seem to be unsuitable for a lot of work.
If it were that simple, LLMs wouldn't work at all.
Have you tried thinking about what LLMs have done and what it implies (and what the companies are explicitly shouting out loud tbh) outside of helping you write code?
That's how people use llms because they (llms) don't seem to be good at the more sophisticated thing
Most people might think that someone doesn't need LLM for that.
Are they doing anything aside from LLMs?
This is a popular take on HN yet incomplete in its assessment of LLMs and their capabilities.
