@sun@shitposter.world my recent chatgpt6 use has basically been
"Hey, see this project with a bunch of annoying dependancies? Just recreate the functionality is C90 using only gcc standard libraries.
Usually they aren't as good and slower, but it's also so nice to have something you can just compile without having to launch an expedition for dependancies and have it in a language that doesn't make my eyes bleed. no need for a make file or build config because you just get a <1k like .c file.

@lolitechengineer Yeah I am doing that too. I do a deep analysis of a commercial product and then just fucking remake it as  free software, better quality, in a non-shit language, with regression tests.

@lolitechengineer an interesting side effect is, it creates an objective test if AI is "useful" or "produces worse code than a human". It's producing a product that has already been deemed useful by humans. And you can compare its quality against the human coded version, and see if it's better or worse.
