I wonder if this comment thread is going to go better than your "I wrote a DOOM clone in my own programming language" from 9 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47932974
"He" writes tens of thousands of lines per week. An LLM wrote a flight simulator in a language an LLM also wrote for you. It's cool that you're doing all of this, and hopefully you and others get value out of it. But it helps to be clear about who is doing what. Just own it. It's cool that AI can do this.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I understand what you mean; Claude is a tool and does not have feelings, thats clear to me. But how else can I describe what I did? "Wrote to Claude" has the same issue. Posted, typed, inputed?
“I used Claude to…” “I tried to X using Claude” etc Anyway doesn’t matter. I’m just kind of whining, I probably should’ve never written that comment in the first place. I think it just sticks out to me unlike like a lot of common parlance in other industries, which can definitely steer into anthropomorphizing, because we’re seeing all kinds of issues with people attributing actual intelligence to these things or just…

The behavior/attribute overlap isn't a coincidence or misunderstanding, it is by design.
In case of "ask", that describes our behavior not the machines.
But if a machine is able to recall and use some fact fluently then it makes sense to say it "knows" it. We routinely use words like "know", without any confusion, when talking about simpler lifeforms that are far less human-like than these models.
None of the above means the machine feels pain, is conscious, has a continuous identity, etc. Yet.
While I applaud creatively exploring new programming language concepts, I find this language confusing. Both the compiler and the flight simulator appear to be vibe coded. The documentation for the language is full of errors or things that don't make sense, and the bootstrap code is a nightmare. It looks like the bootstrap make process requires the bootstrapping code to exist already. Your flight simulator code does…
Congrats on joining Terry Davis [0] in the probably small club of people who wrote a flight simulator in their own programming language! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYQEfLaR4Pg
Like someone else said in this thread, it's cool that AI can do this, but... meh?

Terry Davis actually did the work. OP had Claude (or some LLM, I assume Claude) write a programming language, then had the LLM write a game in it, then took the credit for it. Like someone else said in this thread, it's cool that AI can do this, but... meh?
