    hmm, I just asked Claude to create a chess engine in C++: first attempt
    had a bug, second attempt seems to work. AIs are no longer stochastic
    parrots IMO.

    You're assuming it hasn't ingested the source code for multiple chess
    engines on github. Try getting it to generate code for some obscure game
    no one has heard of or you've made up.
