“Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and adjusting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product,” said Charles Poon, VP of vehicle hardware engineering, in a briefing this week with reporters.

You should be glad it's apologizing. On the occasions I've used it to try to actually write code for me it's had a tendency to blame me for its mistakes.

It writes a function that gets stuck in an infinitely recursive loop that never exits, I point it out and it's all "Aha! You've fallen for a classic recursion trap!" What do you mean I've fallen for it?

Between those experiences and seeing the hot garbage some of my coworkers vibe coded, it was enough for me to relegate LLMs purely to the "ask questions that you would have searched for on StackOverflow" role. And it frustrates me that search was made so impotent that it's not a real option to avoid the LLM entirely. The multiple answers and perspectives on SO were often really valuable.
