Yea I don't think the crop of LLM is useful for this. They let themselves be lead by what's written, and struggle to understand negation even. So when I suspect there is a better solution, I have a hard time getting such an answer, even if asking explicitly for alternatives. I doubt it's just a question of training, they seem to lock themselves on the context. When using Phind, this is somewhat mitigated by mixing in context from the web, which can lead to responses that include alternatives.
