    It’s even better when you ask it to write code for you, it generates a decent looking block, but upon closer inspection it imports a nonexistent library that just happens to do exactly what you were looking for.

    That’s the best sort of hallucination, because it gets your hopes up.

      Yes, for a moment you think “oh, there’s such a convenient API for this” and then you realize…

      But we programmers can at least compile/run the code and find out if it’s wrong (most of the time). It is much harder in other fields.
