   That's true, but the schools are left leaning anyway. Why pay them to   
   propagate what AI bots can propagate for free?

   ChatGPT's public model (GPT-5) is better than a Google search if you have a   
   general question about something, but for serious tasks like "Evaluate my 400   
   page node.js project and help me split it into modules," GPT-5 couldn't handle   
   that. It had me replacing outdated statements with other outdated statements   
   only to tell me later "These statements are outdated." (waste of time)   
      
   But Claude's Sonnet 4.5 showed me the newest JS techniques, explained   
   the differences, helped me implement them, and I haven't had any issues with   
   my project.   
      
   I haven't used it for any actual programming (C++, etc) yet but I bet that it   
   will kick ass at that too. Surely it could teach kids better or even run a   
   school better than George's unerlings.
