Very much. That's why generative AI needs to create tests before it writes code. It doesn't know the answer (it can't know anything), so instead the agent creates the tests to define the shape of the answer, and then the generative system keeps regenerating the whole output with variations until it fits the answer.

It's as if you baked a cake for your kid's 10th birthday, realized that you only added 9 candles, and threw out the whole cake to make a new one. The new one has 10 candles, is perfect, but you're looking at it from the wrong side so it looks upside down compared to the cookbook. In the garbage it goes, gotta make a new cake!

I was always convinced that the only reason we didn't have this kind of tech is that it would just be prohibitively expensive to use.

Everyone hails transformers and attention heads as this huge breakthrough, but I'm here scratching my head how that's a breakthrough when we're just brute forcing through the problem...

That's why it works on business majors

My brain does something similar when I'm trying to remember something. I just go alphabetically, hoping the first letter of the word or name I'm trying to recall will trigger the memory. It works more often than not. Brute force the memory bank

No. Not at all. Like, not even close. This is absurdly wrong.
