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. ?
