  • my experience with LLM’s and numerical computations like with MATLAB or GNU octave, has been poor. I assume its more of an issue that the data isn’t there, MATLAB has it’s own proprietary AI (which I don’t believe is trained on users code) and Octave has no AI associated on it’s end so the major LLM’s only get trained by the data it is prompted by users online or otherwise. Which is why if you prompt it to do a 3D plot, it will almost always pull something out of it’s ass.

    your feeling of a “mental-fog” is my experience with AI in general, the language model explains the ideas well, but then the code editor does some obscure move that makes no fucking sense. also, because you’re not programming it and learning from your mistakes it makes you uncertain of your code. its unfortunate to see search engines are going to shit because of AI, because AI is not ready.
