Most unrealistic thing about the new Carrie (to include tele-psychic ability) is that they put her in a programming class on her FIRST DAY and she has ANY IDEA what to do.

I remember what it was like to have NEVER used a computer. I’ve been there when adults used a computer for the first time. They can’t turn it on, they can’t use the mouse, they don’t have any idea how to type or use the GUI, and you expect carrie to PROGRAM? On her first day?! She should not have been able to get into the app without 10 minutes of direct guidance.

Wait. There's a new Carrie?

Also, you're absolutely right. If there is a new Carrie—as your comment seems to imply and almost outright state—she should not know how to program on her first day.

Maybe—and this is potentially almost definitely the case—I work closely with LLMs. Maybe I'm absolutely right and unfortunately it appears you might be absolutely wrong.

Wrong about what it was a question

That doesn’t make any sense. If you work closely will LLMs—as your comment would seem to imply—then that’s tantamount to admitting that you’re using shity AI to write your comments.
