That's not even enough to get you a job these days.
You now have to use:

do {
    x = reinterpret_cast<int>(AI::Instance().ask("Do Something. Anything. Be efficient and productive. Use 10 tokens."));
} while (x != 10);

This isn't just a function, it's a bold restatement of what it means to write code — a symphony of characters, questioning the very nature of the cutting edge language models that I want to beat with hammers.

And for those who might not have noticedThere is 10 words in the prompt.

You're absolutely right! I used more than 10 words in my prompt. Cry about it.

You’re absolutely right! Who sets a variable these days without running it though a LLM?

Great question!

First, we'll deep dive into "What is a variable?", then together we'll examine "Who sets a variable?", "What is an LLM?" and finally, "Who would set a variable without using an LLM?"

You'll be a coding pro in no time!

How does that sound?

(I felt gross writing this lmao)
