Dieselgate wasn’t a “bug” it was an designed in feature to circumvent emissions. Claude absolutely would have done the same, since it’s exactly what the designers would have asked it for.
Somehow I doubt it would have gone undetected as long if Claude wrote it tho, it’d probably mess it up some other way.
I think this take undervalues the AI. I think we self select for high quality code and high quality engineers
But many of us would absolutely gawk at something like Dieselgate. That is real code running in production on safety critical machinery.
I’m basically convinced that Claude would have done better

You should look into how Dieselgate worked
I don’t think you understand my take
I guess that makes it a bad analogy
