These cars need oil, tires, maintenance, and they're terribly expensive and bad for the environment. The trusty horse needs none of these modern complications.
2022: AI is a search engine but worse with extra steps
2024: AI can't write code
2025: AI can code but nothing complicated
2026: AI can code a functioning C compiler in a few weeks autonomously but it's not as good as a mature human-coded project optimized over the course of nearly four decades! Ha! It's over for AI!
...
2030: AI can do everything a human can in a fraction of the time but, uh... datacenters... datacenters use a lot of power. And water! And... they're... bad for women and children! And trans folx!
Goalposts are in outer space at this point and you still have the lack of awareness necessary to act smug when you find something it still can't do as well as a human, only many times faster.
The point is surely not lost on most of us that it managed to cobble together a (mostly) functioning C compiler. I still think the analysis of its output was enlightening and I appreciated the degree of levity in the approach.
Perhaps you're not aware of how effusive and optimistic some in the tech industry are about it? Is it not worth at least checking to see how some of the claims & hype actually measure up?
What exactly did you asked Claude for 😜? As we learned from Deep Thought's response "42" in "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" , the exact formulation of the question can be important.
This is the best, most committed April Fools joke I have ever seen
Haha…brilliant. Love it! Thanks :-)
What compiler flags did you use with gcc when compiling SPEC CPU 2017?
-O3 as always
Amazing article!
"mov eax, eax"
Off to a promising start I see.
AI will load you up with more work and not less.

Geez, triggered much?

Great writeup!
One question, though: does SPEC2017 do any checks to ensure the correct results were produced?
(I hope that's not too subversive, or else maybe it's off to the gallows with me!)

I didn't ask Claude, Claude's creators (Anthropic) asked Claude
Agreed, exceptional commitment to the bit
