Well that’s why u was asking for an example of sorts. The problem is that if you’re just starting out, you don’t know what you don’t know and more importantly, you won’t be able to tell if something is wrong. It doesn’t help that LLMs are notoriously good at being confidently incorrect and prone to hallucinations.

When I tried it for programming, more often than not, it has hallucinated functions and APIs that did not exist. And I know that they don’t because I’ve been working at this for more than half of my life so I have the intuition to detect bullshit when it appears. However, for learners they are unlikely to be able to differentiate that.
