I have first since used a couple web based AI systems for different specific tech things and they are pretty useful if you do the extra work to verify and modify what they are telling you. I’ve found that Google Gemini AI is really good a general tech questions and configuration items (with looking it over and understanding it and modifying it of course for your specific needs) and Claude Sonnet AI is really amazing at verifying that your code is correct and other more in-depth programming related tasks (for example, memory allocation and pointer handling and file descriptor tracking).

I’ve been using these systems lightly whenever I get stuck and they are able to find the exact code snippets I was looking for to complete the rest of my projects!

Note: It’s a shame that AI resources are being used on social or political issues rather than solving technology and scientific issues to help progress humanity. I’m still amazed that I was able to feed a 1000 lines of C code to Claude as a test and it was able to determine the components purposes and the network proxy applications of it all…

Google AI seems a little more friendly and personable whereas Claude is more on task and professional ha 🙂
