AI is fucking so useless when it comes to programming right now.

They can't even fucking do math. Go make an AI do math right now, go see how it goes lol. Make it a, real world problem and give it lots of variables.

My favourite AI code test is code to point a heliostat mirror at (lattitude, longitude) at a target at (latitude, longitude, elevation)

After a few iterations to get the basics in place, "also create the function to select the mirror angle"

A basic fact that isn't often described is that to reflect a ray you aim the mirror halfway between the source and the target. AI Congress up with the strangest non-working ways of aiming the mirror

Working with AI feels a lot like working with a newbie
