Well Claude appeared very smart, insightful and helpful.  I had the urge to 
thank it afterwards.

Good point. In my opinion, "artificial intelligence" really isn't a good 
description of these things, because it implies that there is actual 
intelligence there, and there isn't. "simulated intelligence" would be a more 
accurate name for what's really going on.

I have to give the standard disclaimer: LLM's produce output that statistically

If you trained it with the specs for ANSI C it would not know how to write any 
C because it can't learn the spec and apply it. I have never used an ESP32, but 
for it to work that well there must be lots of documentation and discussion 
with working examples available to train it.  I really don't think we should be 
calling these things "AI" because it sets the expectations too high, but I 
won't deny that it can produce useful outcomes.

Wrote (better, described a desired outcome) my first AI program today for an

it yet but looks good.


So easy... wow!
