Did you read the original tweet? She mentions the models and gives high level versions of her prompts. I'm not sure what "scaffolding" is.
You're right that they're tools, but I think the complaint here is that they're bad tools, much worse than they are hyped to be, to the point that they actually make you less efficient because you have to do more legwork to verify what they're saying. And I'm not sure that "prompt training," which is what I think you're suggesting, is an answer.
I had several bad experiences lately. With Claude 3.7 I asked how to restore a running database in AWS to a snapshot (RDS, if anyone cares). It basically said "Sure, just go to the db in the AWS console and select 'Restore from snapshot' in the actions menu." There was no such button. I later read AWS docs that said you cannot restore a running database to a snapshot, you have to create a new one.
I'm not sure that any amount of prompting will make me feel confident that it's finally not making stuff up.
I was responding to the "they used an LLM" story about the Norwegian school report, not the original tweet. The original tweet has a great level of detail.
I agree that hallucination is still a problem, albeit a lot less of one than it was in the recent past. If you're using LLMs for tasks where you are not directly providing it the context it needs, or where it doesn't have solid tooling to find and incorporate that context itself, that risk is increased.
