But regular reminder - All LLMs can be wrong all the time. I only work with LLMs in domains I'm expert in OR I have other sources to verify their output with utmost certainty.
When I'm cooking meatballs with sauce and the recipe calls for frying them, I'll have an LLM guestimate how long and which program to use in an air fryer to mimic the frying pan, based on a picture of balls in a Pyrex. So I can just move on with the sauce, instead of spending time browsing websites and stressing about getting it perfect.
I used to hate these non-deterministic instructions, now I treat it as their own game. When I will publish my first recipe, I'll have an LLM randomize the ingredient amounts, round them up to some imprecise units and also randomize the times. Psychologists say we artists need to participate and I WILL participate.
This. Should become a general rule for any non-trivial use of LLM in a professionel setting.
Claude has been utterly useless with most math problems in my experience because, much like less capable students, it tends to get overly bogged down in tedious details before it gets to the big picture. That's great for programming, not so much for frontier math. If you're giving it little lemmas, then sure it's great, but otherwise you're just burning tokens.
