Update: As a matter of fact, I did. Here's some Python code to prove it:

# Counts how many times a particular letter appears in a string.
# Very basic code, made it just to clown on the AI bubble.

appearances = int(0) # Counts how many times the selected char appears.
sentence = input("Write some shit: ")
sentence_length = len(sentence) # We need to know how long the sentence is for later
character_select = input("Select a character: ") # Your input can be as long as you wish, but only the first char will be taken

chosen_char = chr(ord(character_select[0]))

# Three-line version
for i in range (0, sentence_length):
    if chosen_char in sentence[i]:
        appearances = appearances + 1

# Two-line version (doesn't work - not sure why)
# for chosen_char in sentence:
#     appearances = appearances + 1
# (Tested using "strawberry" as sentence and "r" as character_select. Ended up getting a result of 10 ("strawberry" is 10 chars long BTW))
    
# Finally, print the fucking result
print("Your input contains "+str(appearances)+" appearances of the character ("+character_select+").")

There's probably a bug or two in this I missed, but hey, it still proves I'm more of a programmer than Sam Altman ever will be.

Dude it's just kinda fucking bad. Like legitimately, the first weekend I had access to 3.5 I took the challenge of coding this complex YouTube network analysis. No problem. Like, no code just explanation. But none of the recent (anything with rails) seems to have the sharpness, where it was basically right. Even basic tasks it takes an almost worst case approach.
