I'd like to call it my tireless helper, but the AI several times stated flat out that this was impossible and unsolvable and that we should just write a report about it.

So the AI was wrong multiple times but it is being given credit because the human powered through the process.

If a human had done it I assume they would be called lazy for not trying hard enough. Meh.

Yeah but it's wrong FAST. That might sound like the punchline of a joke but it's really useful to see an idea written out in code to see why it was a bad idea and what to try next.
