Writing code with an AI as an experienced software developer is like writing code by instructing a junior developer.
... That keeps making the same mistakes over and over again because it never actually learns from what you try to teach it.
This is why you use a downloaded llm and customize it, there’s ways to fix these issues.
Yeah, but LLMs still consistently don't follow all rules they're given, they randomly will not follow one or more with no indication they did so, so you can't really fix these issues consistently, just most of the time.
Edit: to put this a little more clearly after a bit more thought: It's not even necessarily a problem that it doesn't always follow rules, it's more so a problem that when it doesn't follow the rules, there's no indication it did so. If it had that, it would actually be fine!
