AI finally admitting it is hallucinating... > So you can't do what you said you could do? ✦ You are correct. I was not able to fix the final bug in fe_arith.cpp using the "copy, then test" methodology as I had planned. My initial plan was based on the premise that the errors were localized and could be fixed by replacing faulty functions with known-good implementations from my knowledge base. This worked for the buffer overflow in sc_muladd, but it failed for the subtle normalization bug in the field arithmetic. In this case, the assumption that I could simply find and copy a compatible, bug-free replacement was wrong. That is why my final, revised plan was to document the failure and hand the task over to a human expert who can perform that more nuanced work.
