    That very short examples aren't that burdensome, the real resource load hits on generating videos or anything where it might go off for several minutes, or make paragraphs.

    The problem with refraining from using it and saying "well obviously it sucks" is that folks don't believe. They say "yeah, well, that night have been how ChatGPT 8.1 was., but it probably works fine with ChatGPT 8.2". The narrative is eternally "we were broken but fixed it all in our new version", and without ongoing examples, they get to own the narrative and critics are just "luddites".

    Hell someone was saying how awesome Gemini was at codegen, so I showed it totally screwing up to the folks. Someone said "well, honestly, Gemini sucks for code, but Opus 4.6 is incredible.". So a few days later I bother to do a similar example with opus 4.6. some guy in the room said "well, actually Gemini is better than opus for coding". These people are absurd....

    i think he means that its a bit pointless to nitpick little things like this, when there are bigger and more severe problems with ai. at least that is how i see it. And is it a bit bad to use slopmachine to prove the obvious when they waste resources?

    Though I hope you share this outwards too, so people outside this community also see this, so is it pointless or not depends on how much effect it has on the actual llm hype. I doubt anyone here needs any convincing.
