idk we're just "have more kids" simulators and we do pretty good at programming as a side-task

Sure, and those of us who have more robust preparation and expoure generally do a better job of it.

Someone doesn't get good at programming with low quality learning sources. Also, a poor comparison because models are not people - might as well complain about how NPCs in games behave because they fail at problems real people can solve.

  • We are both substrate that has been aggressively optimized for a task with a lot of side benefits. "NPC"s are not optimized at all, they are coded using symbolic rules/deterministic behavior.
