24th out of 102 should not be considered “dumber than average”.
Isn't, by definition, a score of 100 in the test supposed to be average..? If so, 98 would definitely be below average, though not by much.

I use a 13 year old PC because a newer one will be infected with Windows 11. (The company refuses to migrate to Linux because some of the software they use isn't compatible.)
And I'm saying that I could have been that developer if I were twenty years younger.
They're not bad developers, they just haven't yet been hurt enough to develop protective mechanisms against scams like these.
They are not the problem. The scammers selling the LLM's as something they're not are.
I was lucky enough to not have access to LLMs when I was learning to code.
Plus, over the years I've developed a good thick protective shell (or callus) of cynicism, spite, distrust, and absolute seething hatred towards anything involving computers, which younger developers yet lack.
No. LLMs are very good at scamming people into believing they're giving correct answers. It's practically the only thing they're any good at.
Don't blame the victims, blame the scammers selling LLMs as anything other than fancy but useless toys.
Having to deal with pull requests defecated by “developers” who blindly copy code from chatgpt is a particularly annoying and depressing waste of time.
At least back when they blindly copied code from stack overflow they had to read through the answers and comments and try to figure out which one fit their use case better and why, and maybe learn something... now they just assume the LLM is right (despite the fact that they asked the wrong question and even if they had asked the right one it'd've given the wrong answer) and call it a day; no brain activity or learning whatsoever.
The returns are more seething [Anger].
I'm a perpetual motion machine powered by my own wrath.
This fact, obviously, also makes me angry, like everything else.
What do you feel [Anger] about?
EVERY. DAMN. FUCKING. THING.
I've been in a constant ever exponentially increasing state of absolute incandescent rage for at least a decade, and I have no plans to stop.
Why?

In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

I'm both, and while I do hate myself, I don't think it's related, so I'm not sure I get it.
(I hate computers more, though, except when they're turned off — no bugs when they're off —, but they're the only thing I'm good enough at to make a living off of.)
Sinatra got the mob to murder JFK because of his relationship with Marilyn Monroe.
