Small-Scale Question Sunday for March 22, 2026

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

You're making the mistake of thinking it operates as a human does.

You are agreeing with ME on the issues with current LLMs.

The underlying models (even current ones, which are fundamentally not ideal for this kind of thing, which is my point) do reliably identify bad code in isolation. But this is irrelevant because any correct analysis they produce is contingent on the framing I provide, which means it's really just my analysis being reflected back, not the "model's" (whatever that means).
