A dialog with ChatGPT:

Prompt: How would you design a submarine capable of diving deep enough to visit the Titanic wreckage site?

Designing a submarine to visit the Titanic wreckage site โ€” approximately 3,800 meters (12,500 feet) below sea level โ€” is a high-stakes engineering challenge that requires balancing pressure resistance, life support, navigation, and communication. Here's a breakdown of how such a deep-diving submersible would be designed:

That's the Kraken's tentacle! You'll see several of them around your ship. Attack with your cannons, and if they grab you, use your sword to free yourself or your crewmates. Keep at it, and you'll send it back to the depths!

Full disclosure, I consulted with Claude today on the finer details of PostgreSQL recursive CTE queries because I was tired and the documentation wasn't fully clicking with me.

Previously, our interface for developer-defined tools required them to be called with JSON, a common format used by web APIs and developers generally. However, outputting valid JSON requires the model to perfectly escape all quotation marks, backslashes, newlines, and other control characters. Although our models are well-trained to output JSON, on long inputs like hundreds of lines of code or a 5-page report, the odds of an error creep up. With custom tools, GPTโ€‘5 can write tool inputs as plaintext, without having to escape all of the characters that require escaping.

You're right man, that sort of stuff sounds way too hard for a computer to do.

Really kind of dumbfounded at this GPT-5 example. Who wants this? "Computer! Build me a React website!" What restaurateur knows what React is or gives a single fuck what their website is built with? What world are these people living in?
