There is something quite ironic about old hardware becoming increasingly useful due to current developments in AI research. I wonder about the repercussions of this.
"Generative AI (Large Language Models) have been used for research and debugging help in the course of this project. Small amounts of boilerplate code have also been written by LLM (C++ class and interface definitions). I do not intend to make this a "Vibe Coded" project. Pull requests automatically generated by a LLM tool will not be accepted."
In fact, I had this exact idea on my list of potential future projects for a while so I could teach myself more low-level programming. I avoid AI like the plague in everything I work on, and I still very much considered it doable.
