    Oh that’s what I meant when I said it told me to “call the function that does what I want”. It would just hallucinate that function, then I’d go write it, then it would hallucinate more stuff. And by the time I was done the whole program was nonsense.

    Ended up being faster at getting stuff done by just fully dropping it. Sure I don’t have super auto complete, but who cares. Now my program is structured by me, and all the decisions were mine meaning I actually kinda understand how it works.

      Lol, oof, sounds like real “draw the rest of the owl” energy but adding an unhelpful “unfuck the owl I drew” step first.

        Yep, whole process was a pain. I can’t imagine having to lead a team where people are using AI assistants. That has to be a nightmare and I’d ban it instantly. It was hard enough parsing the hallucinations it had introduced from my prompts. Would be 1000x worse doing a code review where you have to find hallucinations introduced by other people’s prompts.
