My first step when using an LLM is asking it to produce a test suite for a function, with a load of example inputs and outputs. 9 times out of 10, I've been presented with something incorrect which I need to correct first.

I'm reasonably good at being specific and clear in my directions, but I quickly arrived at the conclusion that LLMs are simply not good at producing accurate code in a way that saves me time.
