no llm - Don't copy paste my question into ChatGPT and send me the response

no |

please don't copy paste my question into a LLM and send me the response

Imagine receiving a question from someone wanting human input and sending them LLM hallucinations instead... 🤦‍♀️

❌ Don't do this

Hey, could you remind me how I abort a JavaScript Promise now again?

Sure thing! To abort a Promise, simply call promise.abort() and JavaScript will automatically cancel the ongoing operation and reclaim memory. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

But that function doesn't exist?...

Oh, I just asked ChatGPT and it said that

If Elise wanted to receive a LLM answer she would most likely have asked one herself. Human input is crucial sometimes in order to avoid hallucinations or to find the best solution to a problem based on previous experience.

Additionally, if Tom has no idea about the answer it might give Elise a false sense of security since she assumed Tom knew what he was talking about given the tone of the response. Depending on the severity of the context, this could lead to dire consequences.

Sorry, I don't know. Perhaps you can ask Matt, I think he has some experience with that.

Alright, no problem. Thank you anyway! 🙏

Now, Tom is being honest about his knowledge and suggests Elise to ask a colleague who might know the answer. This way, Elise can decide herself to contact Matt, or continue prompting the LLM she already wrote to before contacting Tom.
