I got quite far asking an LLM to type it out for me. and I got some nice diagrams to visualize the project I was thinking about.


I decided to ask the bing bot to type one out for me, and it told me "no". When I asked it why, it told me it was because it wasn't "creative" so it wrote me a poem in Python. I then asked it to write a diagram that was funny. It told me "no" because it wouldn't be creative.

:sigh: technology.


Try chat gpt and set the system prompt to say that it is creative, or you can run lama on replicate


GPT4 was surprisingly good at generating dot (Graphviz) files when I tried, and even managed to do reasonable visual layout of nodes (it's an interesting test, both because reasoning about visual constraints in text is tricky and because good diagram layout algorithms are complex)


It's decent at mermaid too, but the one time I tried it for something complex there I found it was just easier to do the diagram myself


Yeah, it's surprisingly good, but definitely not good enough to rely on for that. It was fascinating to probe the limits of it, though.
