Seemingly basic asks that LLMs consistently get wrong have lots of value to people because they serve as good knowledge/functionality tests.

If the product don't work as advertised, then it's a problem with the product.
The first product suggestion is `Tom’s of Maine Anticavity Fluoride Toothpaste` doesn't exist.
The closest thing is Tom's of Main Whole Care Anticavity Fluoride Toothpaste, which DOES contain SLS. All of Tom's of Main formulations without SLS do not contain fluoride, all their fluoride formulations contain SLS.
The next product it suggests is "Hello Fluoride Toothpaste" again, not a real product. There is a company called "Hello" that makes toothpastes, but they don't have a product called "Hello fluoride Toothpaste" nor do the "e.g." items exist.
The third product is real and what I actually use today.
The fourth product is real, but it doesn't contain fluoride.
So, rife with made up products, and close matches don't fit the bill for the requirements.
Meanwhile the rest of the world learned how to use it.
We have a choice. Ignore the tool or learn to use it.
(There was lots of dumb hype then, too; the sort of hype that skeptics latched on to to carry the burden of their argument that the whole thing was a fad.)
Very few people "learned how to use" Google, and in fact - many still use it rather ineffectively. This is not the same paradigm shift.
"Learning" ChatGPT is not a technology most will learn how to use effectively. Just like Google they will ask it to find them an answer. But the world of LLMs is far broader with more implications. I don't find the comparison of search and LLM at an equal weight in terms of consequences.
The TL;DR of this is ultimately: understanding how to use an LLM, at it's most basic level, will not put you in the drivers seat in exactly the same way that knowing about Google also didn't really change anything for anyone (unless you were an ad executive years later). And in a world of Google or no-Google, hindsight would leave me asking for a no-Google world. What will we say about LLMs?
I will circle back every so often. It's not a horrible experience for greenfield work. A sort of "Start a boilerplate project that does X, but stop short of implementing A B or C". It's an assistant, then I take the work from there to make sure I know what's being built. Fine!
A combo of using web ui / cli for asking layout and doc questions + in-ide tab-complete is still better for me. The fabled 10x dev-as-ai-manager just doesn't work well yet. The responses to this complaint are usually to label one a heretic or Luddite and do the modern day workplace equivalent of "git gud", which helps absolutely nobody, and ignores that I am already quite competent at using AI for my own needs.
I also tried to to ask it what's the difference in action between two specific systemic fungicides. it generated some irrelevant nonsense.
