More like dissonance coding.  D:

AI (artificial inaccuracy), from what i've seen, is generally bad at 
coding.  It's particularly bad at BASIC, routinely conflating 
dialects--even if one is specified.  Worse than useless.

AI is great for coding, especially for languages with a lot of online 
documentation and source code. Maybe not for BASIC - models may not have 
been trained enough on older BASIC.

I took my first shot at AI coding in 6502 ML for the Apple II with
AppleSoft ROMs.  I used Claude, and was surprised with its “familiarity”
with A2 hires and ROM routines.  The code looks workable, if inefficient
(LDA #0; STA blah; LDA #0; STA blah2 for example), but it seems to think
that one byte can hold an x-coordinate of 0..279!

So I’m both amazed and disappointed. 😎

Stochastic parrots can do nothing but mimic patterns according to
probability data and do not actually understand anything, film at 11.
