Comment on Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app

That’s the whole point, I don’t expect correct answers. Neither from a 4 year old nor from a probabilistic language model.

And you don’t expect a correct answer because it isn’t 100% of the time. Some lemmings are basically just clones of Sheldon Cooper

I don’t expect a correct answer because I’ve used these models quite a lot last year. At least half the answers were hallucinated. And it’s still a common complaint about this product as well if you look at actual reviews (e.g., pretty sure Marques Brownlee mentions it).

Something seems to fly above your head: quality is not optional and it’s good engineering practice to seek reliable methods of doing our work. As a mature software person, you look for tools that give less room for failure and want to leave as little as possible for humans to fuck up, because you know they’re not reliable, despite being unavoidable. That’s the logic behind automated testing, Rust’s borrow checker, static typing…
If you’ve done code review, you know it’s not very efficient at catching bugs. It’s not efficient because you don’t pay as much attention to details when you’re not actually writing the code. With LLMs, you have to do code review to ensure you meet quality standards, because of the hallucinations, just like you’ve got to test your work before committing it.
I understand the actual software engineers that care about delivering working code and would rather write it in order to be more confident in the quality of the output.

Like most people, I have no interest in engaging in conversation with someone who gives me zero reason to.
Not that it’s any of your business, but quality matters to me more than anything else, which is why I like tools that help me deliver it

Truth is, your complete misunderstanding of the person you replied to seems to suggest otherwise, and the arrogant delivery doesn’t help.
Seems like that one it a nerve, uh?
