“Why doesn’t this work?”

It’s an entertaining read 😆

> Will the Glide AI component ever change over time? I think that once a prompt is fine-tuned then the CSS is ‘locked’ and will not change even if the underlying AI ‘engine’ has changed. And if you re-run the prompt in the future will you lose the previous AI ‘version’ of the component? Their may not be a ‘going back’ if the underlying LLM has changed/been refined.

I didn’t mean this. Once it’s generated, it stays as is. Glide stores the result of your prompt somewhere in their database, and every time your app loads the component, they refer to the cached result.

What I mean is even when you try to prompt the same way as another person did, or even you did in another app, it won’t always get you the same result. It’s the non-deterministic side of the component, or AI in general.

Just like Jeff, I would much love an option to start off with some prompts, then be able to edit the underlying code myself. I was doing that when we had the Code component, starting with some prompts myself either in AI Component or Claude, then finish the work with Code component.

Hehe, actually if you just ask “why” or “what it’s doing” sometimes, the AI will add a text description above the component with some insight into how the code is working behind the scenes. Sometimes it will actually fix the problem, but other times it provides useful information, such a function names, to help figure out how to word your followup prompts.
