XKCD 1425, Tasks, celebrates its tenth anniversary today, highlighting the transformation of once complex challenges into trivial tasks with the advancement of technology like LLMs, CLIP, and ResNet+ImageNet. The comic emphasizes the importance of experience in deciphering between easy and hard tasks in software development, a notion that has become more perplexing with the introduction of LLMs. Despite their limitations in math and fact-checking, LLMs have influenced the surge in AI-assisted programming, leading novice developers to grapple with the concept of easy versus hard tasks. The discussion delves into the complexities of building Claude Artifacts and the restrictions imposed by CSP headers on API calls to LLMs.
