minus-squareenemenemu@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up19·edit-27 days agoUnfortunately, the article does not write about how people use it. I use it to skip reading docs. Either it works, or I read the docs, sometimes in parallel, whatever is faster. Oftentimes I just forgot how some function is called. I’m still in the testing phase and in more than 50% of the cases its crap. Halizination is a real problem with those models that I’ve used.
