To use LLMs for software development you buy tokens and spend them to get the answer you want.

Which means the LLM firms have a financial incentive against giving a good first or second answer.

However, to keep you coming back, there's an incentive to give you a "good enough" answer after a few tries.

Isn't this more-or-less how fruit machines work?

"We need to ship ten thousand tons of domestic refuse by sea."

"How about in scows?"

"Ey! Ey! We got like, ten thousand ton o'rubbish, 'ow do we ship it, it's doin' me 'ead in!"
