Well, the AI coding project I embarked on over the past couple of months (in my spare time - as I'm using free versions and, especially Claude, the AI's quickly run out of steam, reached about 200K lines before I deemed it "done enough" to drop it. I used Claude to do most of the coding and ChatGPT to evaluate each iteration and critique "my" coding - which I fed back into Claude to resolve.

Whether both or either of these are "alive" is unimportant to me - together they form a potent tool to get a task done. What is more important is that, if my application was meant to be sold commercially, my work would have meant the ability to avoid using a team of programmers for a couple of years and provided "instant" competition for mature (but less capable) applications addressing the channel. It also means that users of the application would be far more productive than previously and companies would be able to receive better guidance from using the software.

Alive or not - results are what counts.
