it worked through a software problem and came to a conclusion based on the computer's feedback



I feel like it brute forced an answer? I actually think that this could've been achieved with Stack Overflow Search API?


It looks to me like something a junior developer would do. It's not pure brute force


Looking like something is different to doing what a junior developer would do. I admit they'd probably look through a database of known existing answers...not disputing that.

I'd say that a person using Linux for the first time might do what is happening in that demo.

Anyway, not to diminish the bot or LLMs or whatever, but it's definitely something that could be done using the Stack Overflow Search API or similar. I'd say it's actually a very primitive / boring use of an LLM.


Wait until it's directed to hack into power grids!
