Last time I asked one to write a heliostat driving program I had to tell it how to find the angle to point the mirror, which was better than the previous one which I also had to ask it to use real libraries to get the sun's altitude and azimuth

    I ask it to write Hangman in python ascii, and it mostly fails.

    I think it's a case of eMacs.

    Like, with eMacs you can do anything. But the time you spend setting up and learning eMacs to the point where you get the usefulness you were looking for probably exceeds the time you might have spent just solving the damn problem with pen and paper.

    AI is a bit like that. It gives you, like, badly printed 3D printedlego.
