Interesting, which AI system are you using?
This doesn't match my own experiences, I've tried a few times to ask about Pascal and the results have always been appallingly bad. From nonsensical syntax (sometimes mixing in C-style syntax), to made up unit and object names, I'm surprised if it can even manage a correct "hello, world".
By comparison, Python generation can be pretty decent (not that it can't run into the same issues, but it is less frequent). I always assume it's because Pascal's online presence is gravely reduced compared to other languages. It is still a fairly popular language, but I'd wager most Pascal written is not published online.
- boznz 1y agoThe main issue is they often try to write code using dated/unsupported packages, but simply asking them not to use any out of date components or units will give you a baseline to do most things or from first principles. Gemini 2.5 was the last one I used for generating an interface to a really old OLE based SCADA system, the base code it generated required almost no re-work to read and write the interface.
