To be fair, the bug report was utterly useless too.

True, when i respond with the exact problem it usually gets fixed, interestingly even explained why it failed.

Great for learning

The only problem is that it'll ALSO agree if you suggest the wrong problem.

"Hey, shouldn't you have to fleem the snort so it can be repurposed for later use?"

You are correct. Fleeming the snort is necessary for repurposing for later use. Here is the updated code:

Models are geared towards seeking the best human response for answers, not necessarily the answers themselves. Its first answer is based on probability of autocompleting from a huge sample of data, and in versions that have a memory adjusts later responses to how well the human is accepting the answers. There is no actual processing of the answers, although that may be in the latest variations being worked on where there are components that cycle through hundreds of attempts of generations of a problem to try to verify and pick the best answers. Basically rather than spit out the first autocomplete answers, it has subprocessing to actually weed out the junk and narrow into a hopefully good result. Still not AGI, but it's more useful than the first LLMs.

That's not been my experience. It'll tend to be agreeable when I suggest architecture changes, or if I insist on some particular suboptimal design element, but if I tell it "this bit here isn't working" when it clearly isn't the real problem I've had it disagree with me and tell me what it thinks the bug is really caused by.
