If you want to talk to the actual robot, the APIs seem to be the way to go. The prebuilt consumer facing products are insufferable by comparison.

"ChatGPT wrapper" is no longer a pejorative reference in my lexicon. How you expose the model to your specific problem space is everything. The code should look trivial because it is. That's what makes it so goddamn compelling.

Yes, LLMs should not be allowed to use "I" or indicate they have emotions or are human-adjacent (unless explicit role play).

Why, though? Just because some people would find it odd? Who cares?

Trying to limit / disallow something seems to be hurting the overall accuracy of models. And it makes sense if you think about it. Most of our long-horizon content is in the form of novels and above. If you're trying to clamp the machine to machine speak you'll lose all those learnings. Hero starts with a problem, hero works the problem, hero reaches an impasse, hero makes a choice, hero gets the princess. That can be (and probably is) useful.

I am quite hard anti-AI, but even I can tell what OP wants is a better library or API, NOT a better LLM.

Once again, one of the things I blame this moment for is people are essentially thinking they can stop thinking about code because the theft matrices seem magical. What we still need is better tools, not replacements for human junior engineers.
