@whimsical I'm actually currently trying again with more directed prompts. I had to tell Cursor "DONT GENERATE EVERYTHING IN ONE GO, WHAT FOR MY COMMAND" :P
So far its better, but still not as good as I would have hoped.... But I will keep experimenting -
@BordedDev Maybe that would make a difference :P
But so far it's like I expected: It generates a whole bunch of relatively okay looking code but it just looks okay. It actually doesn't make that much sense -
@12bitfloat In your case it might help to tell it to periodically compile/lint the rust code. It really can be sensitive to intent, e.g. "Clean up this code" and "make this production" ready give very different results

@whimsical if you spend more time writing a prompt than doing the actual code it's not worth it

One of the fundamental problem with LLM is, it never admits that a task is too difficult for it to solve. It's like one of those salespersons working on commission at any store. If you ask them a question they can't answer, they'd never say "I don't know", but instead go yapping as if they had a clue - often with confidence at that.

@12bitfloat That's funny, make it write actual tests ;P
-
@BordedDev I think I'll try again tonight
So far it's been exhausting though! You'd think when the AI is doing all the work it's a breeze but it's like taking care of a hyper active toddler. You constantly have to steer it in the right direction and clean up the messes it makes
When you wanted to know deep learning immediately
That's not AI.
Oh my goooooooooood vibe coding is sooo bad
Holy fucking shit I'm actually losing my mind
Cursor is nothing but a glorified slop generator. It just fucking yaps and yaps and it generates shit upon shit. Yet NOTHING works properly
It all looks impressive but its all a shallow house of cards of bullshit
To be fair, I'm trying to make it write a simple compiler with an x86 JIT backend. Absolutely not a simple task, but come oonnnnnnn. It just goes in circles, over and over and over
It's exactly as I imagined. Just like ChatGPT, if it failed 2 times, it will never recover and you should just start a new conversation to clear the poisoned context. For a half hour I've been trying to get to compile a program which prints hello world. It just can't do it. No matter what, the compiled program just always returns 42 and nothing else (or segfaults)
It's just fucking AI slop. It LOOKS impressive until you actually go a bit deeper and you realize its all vapid bullshit
