Watched someone copy an entire file of Python code, paste it into an LLM, ask the thing to ‘remove all whitespace’, copy paste it back, and then be flabbergasted that there’s even more whitespace than before.

This is one of those rare occasions where the AI was apparently smarter than the person asking the question. It was smart enough not to remove the white space

Then ask it to remove parenthesis from your C code.
Or Lisp
lol that’s even better. I meant to say curly braces.
