The amusing things LLMs do when they have been at a problem for some time and cannot fix it:

- Removing problematic tests altogether

- Making up libs

- Providing a stub and asking you to fill in the code

| Making up libs

This is an attack vector. Probe the models for commonly hallucinated libraries (on npm or github or wherever) and then go and create those libraries with malicious code.

Or ... if they are actually good ideas for libraries, go ahead and create them with good code, helping push the industry forward.

This is a perennial issue in chatbot-style apps, but I've never had it happen in Claude Code.

If humans can say "The proof is left as an exercise for the reader", why can't LLMs :)

They’re just looking out for us to preserve our mental sharpness as we delegate too much to them.

If I'm paying someone to solve a problem for me and they tell me part of it is left for me to sort out then I'm gonna be pretty unhappy with how I spent my money.
