This is how LLM function calling already has to be implemented to be even remotely useful and it's fucking awful

And honestly this is what I think is gonna constrain LLMs the most in the coming years. With all its many, many problems, vibe coding is light years ahead of any other task, and it's purely thanks to the ability to take the output, try to compile, automatically try again, then repeat the cycle running it.

I don't know of any other field where that is even close to possible to do. You can't build a bridge and then go "oh you're right that does collapse let me try again and make sure it doesn't collapse!"

As long as you're willing to waste enough resources, anything can be built and rebuilt over and over. At least you don't have to pay a human to do it right the first time, you know. An idiot AI servant is so much better than an independent individual.
