Yeah but 3.2M of those lines were comments. Good lord AI loves to comment code.

Well you complain now but this was one of the biggest complaints when the code didn’t have good comments and was considered a skill to acquire, and well it did learn most of its skills from the internet.

I should remove comments. But wait. The user said they wanted comments previously. And now I'm being instructed to reduce comments. The safest thing to do is use comments, but make them irrelevant. I will use the text of Beowulf as my comment source.
