You (and everyone else) is missing the point of my post. (I admit to having thrown it poorly.) Forget the QC part; It confidently described an algorithm to square a number, which literally any beginning CS student could do, that didn’t even come close. I will admit to using it all the time for simple programming tasks, and it occasionally does them correctly. Often it comes close enough that I can fix them. (Interestingly in most of these cases I can’t talk it into fixing itself. It kinda gets into wrong-approach ruts), and sometimes it’s horribly wrong (like here). I find the horribly wrong cases funny.
