How good is AI at software coding?  Carl Brown, founder of the YouTube channel Internet of Bugs, has made a name for himself by holding AI claims up to scrutiny. So we asked the physicist and software developer to help us assess how good AI is at coding tasks. Using our AI testing software, which simultaneously queries five leading AI models, Brown asked the models coding questions.
