Working with LLMs
LLMs are like a stubborn donkey, a tricky genie, and a slot machine all in one — you need to know how to work with them.
Large language models (LLMs) are like a stubborn donkey: always eager to help, but never admitting they don’t know something. Or like a genie: granting your wishes literally, with results that might surprise you. And sometimes they’re just a slot machine — spin it, and you never know if you’ll hit the jackpot or get nothing. So don’t expect miracles: you need to know how to work with LLMs, otherwise you might end up with neither your wish nor your winnings!
