Re: AI generated code

I have an interesting observation about using AI to write code. I tried
ChatGPT, Grok and DeepSeek and none of them could reliably generate code
in the form of a large C++ enum and associated array based on a table of
input values however I was able to get ChatGPT to write some C++ code to
parse the input data directly to generate that code.

You have to be smart about how you use AI leveraging your own software
engineering knowledge to navigate LLM hallucinations. Less of the trust
and more of the verify.

I'm not an expert on LLMs by any means, but I suspect the syntatic and
semantic reconstruction of human language is fairly flexible because the
grammar is fairly flexible. Obviously this is not the case for a computer
language which needs to be absolutely bang on syntatically and with everything
in the correct order and with certain things that must be done or it won't work.

Umm, I'm pretty sure hashtags have zero effect on usenet.
