Why would an LLM be good at giving you answers about specifically the ocarina of time remake? it seems like the worst case scenario for confusion

[delayed]

God I hope all that lot is backed up somewhere. Maybe I need to take my own backup, all that ascii should be cheap.

I agree! Do you have any ideas on how to do that? I'd love to look into making my own GameFaqs backup as well!

Haven’t we moved past an assumption/need that these (frontier) llm (-backed services) have memorized their training data now that tool calling has proven to be so effective? The model knows enough about the question to be able to search for sources that contain the answer and then summarize the findings back? I’m shocked Claude voice ever makes a mistake on this, does it not have agentic capabilities backing its responses?

> I struggle to understand how Claude is still so bad

Claude is absolutely killing it for me. Man-years and man-years of backlog work, hobby projects, optimizations, research, experiments, finally implemented. Bloated apps finally optimized to fit on micro instances, slashing my infra costs. Recovery from operations incidents in a third of the time.

If I could make Claude forget everything it every knew about Ocarina of Time to make it 1% better at what it already does so well, I'd press that button in a heartbeat.

llms seem really bad at giving information about existing video game for whatever reason. it just makes shit up half the time.

This feels like a very odd use for Claude as opposed to any LLM focused on web search, but more to the point 30 years ago you could hit up Gamefaqs and get a plain-text document to download and manually search it locally to your heart's content in milliseconds. A lot of LLMs are hitting the mountains of garbage in, tiny pile of garbage out problem more than being bad LLMs.

You can still do that I think, although there's a lot of HTML faqs these days

I've been playing through Ship of Harkinion and have also been using just standard brave search with cheap brave AI that's free and been asking questions when I get stuck in my playthrough and it's nailed it every single time. Probably two dozen questions so far in my playthrough.

Claude should be an order of magnitude better than that. So, I can't say I understand how your experience has been so bad. Very surprising.

In general anecdotes aren't great for much unless you understand what the person is doing.

For example in the earlier days of the net lots of people just sucked with the search engines that existed while I found what I wanted quickly looking for in the same topic.

How you ask the question is still important, and will probably always be important.

the greater struggle for me to understand is why you are asking an llm this. thank you also for contributing to global warming for video game tips.
