minus-squareenemenemu@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up20·edit-26 days agoUnfortunately, the article does not write about how people use it. I use it to skip reading docs. Either it works, or I read the docs, sometimes in parallel, whatever is faster. Oftentimes I just forgot how some function is called. I’m still in the testing phase and in more than 50% of the cases its crap. Halizination is a real problem with those models that I’ve used.
minus-squarecherrykraken@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up12·edit-25 days agoI use it mainly for code completion, and it’s great until I hit <tab> to indent and accidentally accept a 50 line suggestion.
minus-squareRikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·5 days agoI limit suggestions to one line, that’s the sweet spot for me.
minus-squareStizzah@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 days agoSame, but it’s also useful to write READMEs (most of the times).
