This weekend I had a discussion with several people involving the phrase “three areas of coding”. I wasn’t familiar with the terminology and was suspicious I explained that I’d never encountered the phrase but the purported author was a) younger and b) from a different culture so it could have been legit. Then someone pasted in a response from an LLM. It was bad. So very bad. Like a real world example of word salad. Turns out the phrase was a summary from a discussion not a phrase that was used.
