The AI's core tenet to my assertion "Python is an awful language for beginners" (due to whitespace formatting and having a non transparent "this"-self- having to manually be passed around as arguments) was that it was due to its "simplicity".
It asserted that manual self passing and whitespace "may require additional effort to learn and use compared to other languages", which countered it's own argument foundation/core tenet.
I pointed this out, wrote QED, the judge AI said it won because it backed up it's claims, which was basically that the "`concept of `self` is fundamental to object-oriented programming" - which is actually incorrect.
Memory scope is fundamental as that maps to the lowest hardware level of memory allocation - you can't get much more fundamental than that. Self/this is not required, in fact you can access scoped variables in Java without a self referential keyword.
But hey a LLM that uses a LLM to determine the outcome won't be biased right? :D
- SillyUsername 4y agoNb. whether Python is actually awful is irrelevant, for the purpose of this debate I simply wanted to narrow a scope and have it define a tenet, which could then be knocked over. I use Python generally (and embedded C, C#, Java, TS, JS) it's just another tool for the job, so don't hate me lol.
