I have a job interview this afternoon, and I've been warned that the hiring manager is very excited by LLMs, so I'm playing around with Google Gemini today.

I keep hearing about how these things have gotten better, but I'm not really seeing it. I'm currently trying to get it to refactor a function I have that injects data into a HTML+markdown template, and in cleaning up my chicken scratch code it

* Keeps breaking the template
* Keeps *reformatting* the template
* Has stripped the template of comments
* Randomly changes div tags to other things
* Keeps changing my colour schemes
* Keeps breaking the markdown rendering by indenting blocks of text too far (indicating to the md renderer that it's a code block)

I at one point asked it to create new, better comments for my template, and it just stripped mine from it again. When told it to create new comments, it spit out the template right back out with slight, unrequested modifications sprinkled throughout, but still with no comments. I asked it *four times* to add comments before giving up. I don't think it "knows" what an HTML comment is.

The idea that people are getting all excited about this stuff is mind boggling.
