    It better be better than it used to be. It would screw up many things.
    Usually dealing with lock/wait-free algos.

    Sounds like cut-n-paste code to me.

    Computer Science is merely the post-Turing decline in formal systems theory.

    What do you mean? Tell the AI to create code, copy, paste and just
    believe in it? No. The AI has messed up many things... Mostly memory
    barriers, etc...

    There's a reason AI warns you to "Use code with caution".

    And there is no sample code with the code specification backing up this fantastic claim.
