I'm not sure where your side track is coming from. Who in their right mind would ever check in code that prints a range of numbers from 0 to x?
The example wasn't about writing good code or realistic code. It's about an LLM knowing and understanding what I asked it to do. It did this by literally creating a correct answer that doesn't exist. Sorry it doesn't satisfy your code quality standards but that's not part of the task is it? Why don't you ask it to make the code quality better? It can likely do it Maybe that will stop the subtle insults (please don't subtly imply I'm incompetent that's fucking rude)
Like why even get into code quality about some toy example? What's the objective? To fulfill some agenda against AI? I think that's literally a lot of what's going on in this thread.
