A #code assistant #AI just read my fucking mind

Hi, I'm going to go live in a cave now.

@ssfckdt Yeah, they get scary sometimes.
Of course, sometimes they just lose all sense and just start inventing variable names out of whole cloth and mangle logic loops right and left.

@nathan Part of it was straightforward, I'm like, okay, you know I'm trying to do the same thing twice, etc. but then after that, you'd think a routine would just keep repeating, but then it knew I wanted to stop, and then knew EXACTLY the assertion I was planning to make (it's an automated test).

I had to take a step back. How did it know that's what I wanted to do? How could it have known? And I haven't written a lot of tests yet at this place so it can't be that.
