Hence Linus Torvalds repeating the oft-heard claim that "Generative #AI" slopbots are now excellent at coding C, even if they're maybe bad at other things, must be taken as the simple invocation of a magic talisman, a sacred mystery. C is Good™, so Good™ that its Goodness™ touches everything pertaining to C. Of *course* #Claude or #ChatGPT or whatever can speak perfect C! C's perfection graces the LLM with perfection.
After all there's probably at least a few percentage points of C code somewhere in the fantabulous innards of the "generative AI" miracle.
