Free health care? These things will be smart enough to 3d print and build you a health care robot that'll do all that for free. The trick is to stay alive long enough to get that benefit!
For now we have QB64PE. Gemini has been able to generate good enough code for pieces I need that it saves time. The sweet spot is to ask for pieces small enough to digest, fix without too much trouble and learn something from. For the rest, there's good old-fashioned elbow grease! QB64 runs faster and is more powerful & easier than any BASIC I've ever worked with.
Now I just need a time machine to get more than 24 hours in a day!
