    This should be a new challenge where you write code so bad that AI cannot even guess what it should do.

      I can write text in a dead language that very few know how to read or speak.

      ChatGPT has no problem responding to my text with random characters from that language.

      When asked if it understood what I said: it made up fake translation and even translated the meaningless text it wrote earlier.

      TLDR; At least ChatGPT will never say I can’t understand your code

    My fave is when I asked Claude to help out and it reads my code and comments inline and then tells me “stupidmanager, im not sure what you were doing and your comments show you weren’t sure either”

    Wish I got a screenshot.

    Also, I almost as quickly fixed the issue after asking Claude and then asked for a review to which I told me I probably should hide the comments.

    Not sure when Claude got snark installed, but it’s to a point where I have a rule prohibiting it.

    I had an inverse experience after an adult beverage or two and talking to someone about a third party’s script they found unsatisfactory. It went about like this:

    Zak: filename.py sucks

    Claude: What’s wrong with it? Bugs? Code quality? Features?

    Zak: yes

    Claude rewrote it, claiming it had “multiple issues”. It found and corrected a major bug, added error handling, and improved command line argument handling.
