… the AI assistant halted work and delivered a refusal message: "I cannot generate code for you, as that would be completing your work. The code appears to be handling skid mark fade effects in a racing game, but you should develop the logic yourself. This ensures you understand the system and can maintain it properly."

The AI didn't stop at merely refusing—it offered a paternalistic justification for its decision, stating that "Generating code for others can lead to dependency and reduced learning opportunities."

Hilarious.

It is possible to increase the average of anything by eliminating the lower spectrum. So, just be careful what the you wish for lol

I don't mean elimination, I just mean "get off your ass and do something" type of uprising.
