I do research and heard that Julius is great. Well, I’ve been trying it for a few months. I normally use R, but I like that Julius automates things.
I’ve been trying to do a structural equation model with Julius. Everything seems fine but then I notice that it isn’t. Not only does the system ignore specific parts of the prompt like “use lavaan to make a structured equation model” and other important details, it completely goes rogue because it can’t seem to load the R lavaan package or semopy. Then it goes and does stuff that I didn’t ask for, like data viz when I specifically instructed it to output the coefficients etc. Or gives up on using SEM because it can’t install R packages and then does something like ordinary least squares. Guys, why am I paying you a monthly subscription to babysit an engine that thinks it’s intelligent. Then it frequently crashes when it’s debugging python errors (the reason why I stopped using python years ago!!!) and asking if it should continue. Please fix. I am now considering cancelling and mentioning these annoyances on Reddit and Quora. It does grunt work well. It can’t really do analysis that well. Also, if you make it do the analysis again, it doesn’t replicate the results. Instead, it just goes off and does something different. No consistency, so I can’t rely on this.
