<p>The “ask Gemini” thing was so bad, because it made people think that worked with other chatbots. I know some smart, well-informed people who have been under the impression that they can ask Claude if something is AI-generated and get an accurate answer!</p>

<p>Sure, but I couldn't say that a US company writing about some work they did in paper form is charity. At least not seriously! If it were charity, Google might be the most charitable company of all time, since their researchers published "Attention Is All You Need." But it is not.</p>

<p>On the other hand, Rust's borrow checker is very picky, and even a frontier LLM still sometimes struggles to respond to roadblocks sensibly (refactoring so whatever it's trying to do can be done safely) rather than stupidly (introducing some horrible global arena thing so it can make the borrow checker go away). A lot depends on how good your instructions are, and how good the existing code is, since bad input begets bad output.</p>
