I'm going to ignore all that and tell my developers working in complicated codebases that they have to use AI. I'm sure comprehending side effects in a world building text adventure is completely different that understanding spaghetti code

Desarcasmed version: "I think that problems with Zork make those models virtually useless in programming tasks." Correct?

He said complicated code bases. LLMs are great at producing small snippets of code to address very targeted problems.

Great on small snippets of code, passable on larger pieces of code, great at finding vulnerabilities in large pieces of code, terrible in Zork. All-in-all, a jagged frontier that defies a simple sarcastic characterization.

Very kiki, not very bouba, as Aphyr rightfully stated.
