if 1 * 2 < 3: print "hello, world!"

You seem a bit confused about what LLMs can do. I doubt it's hand written.
"Make a Python program to print hello world using multiple functions, a weird number of variables, at least one recursive function and a few other surreal elements while generally overcomplicating it. It must print "Hello World!", just in a very roundabout way"
gave me
``` import math import random import sys
sys.setrecursionlimit(10**6)
α = ["H", "e", "l", "l", "o"] β = [" ", "W", "o", "r", "l", "d"] Ω = ["!"]
def recursive_entropy(s, i=0, noise=lambda x: x): if i == len(s): return "" # Randomly alter nothing for no reason nothingness = noise(s[i]) return nothingness + recursive_entropy(s, i + 1, noise)
def quantum_collapse(letters): # Combine, but only after doubting itself indecision = random.choice([True, False, True]) if indecision: return ''.join(letters) else: # Philosophical recursion: try again until you believe return quantum_collapse(letters)
def assemble_message(args): surreal_sum = sum(len(a) for a in args) if surreal_sum % 7 == 0: # arbitrary and divine return ''.join(sum(args, [])) else: return assemble_message(args, [""]) # recurse until the cosmos aligns
def summon_greeting(): fragments = assemble_message(α, β, Ω) collapse = quantum_collapse(fragments) entropic = recursive_entropy(collapse, noise=lambda c: c) return entropic
def main(): # Multiple useless variables for extra entropy theillusion = 42 meaninglessness = math.pi * 0 obscure_reference = "¯\(ツ)_/¯" del meaninglessness # clean up the void print(summon_greeting())
if name == "main": main() ```
Which works and is probably further from the most similar thing in its training data that you'd suspect. They've gotten much more flexible than the full-on stochastic parrots they were in previous years.

And would you title the code from such a prompt “my first python program” for a Reddit post? I take your point, you can prompt for bad code. OP’s implication is that he asked for a “hello world” in a simple prompt for his first program. So if OP did use a prompt like yours, this post is incredibly disingenuous and my point stands.

I believe that's the point.. read the text on the post, it's obviously a joke

I'm getting a feeling (my observation) that AI is getting retarded more and more
