This is one of the biggest challenges that I see for LLMs in relation to codig: Giving answers that work on the particular language and library version(s) you're developing for.

Most of the data these LLMs are trained on aren't labeled as to version number, so they really have no way of determining which version of a particular language or library the code they provide will work on.

It might work if you're doing something generic enough. Otherwise you're going to have to rely on luck on it working with your particular version.

I can't think of a way to overcome this.
