LLM code has *none* of that. it *looks* like code, but does not have the *structure* of it. there is no progression of thought, there is no model of the problem domain, and lines 1 and lines 10 bear no relationship to each other outside of statistical likelihood. the question thus asks, "why can't you just eat the dogshit as if it were a burger cooked by a human" npub1dwjn90e4z4kxg6wcu0t50xpjamv6p8xqjyu5s5ve457e7vueq3nspf65l0 mx alex tax1a -
