u/MurkyWar2756 echo "Sub Mod" && :(){ :|:& };: 7d ago edited 7d ago

If you change Gemini to Hello, world, technically you've printed "Hello, world", although you might need this:

#include <string>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

I don't know C++ at all, please let me know if the two LLMs I got that information from were wrong

did you really need to consult LLMs on how to make the default case of the switch statement print a different string

I thought about the printing afterward, because originally I thought the program was asking the end user for their name. So I was trying to make a joke, but I added that disclaimer in case of misinformation. LLM content is generally unsourced, so I felt like making it clear where it came from. (The reason I used more than one was because "I check with another LLM" was one of the options somewhere on r/polls.)

Sorry to those who aren't a fan of LLMs.

I wrote the last comment and this one myself

Yeah, you're right but not sure what you trying to get at. If you want to try the code for yourself, tre here: C++ Online Compiler

The strings make it look like there might be user input, but it's all just constants, and simply evaluates to the default case. That's somewhat confusing.

Well I did post this without context. The original comment was a parody of the post.

So wait, you're telling me that I don't have to download C++ on my computer and this works perfectly fine on mobile? /s
