Who needs GPT-3?

    printf("I'm conscious!\n");

`printf` for a literal, seriously?

OK... The compiler will do your job for you, drop the \n and use a puts instead, but, still, it'll be very disappointed with you.

That's how I test the compiler's level of consciousness. Does it just blindly apply some predefined optimisations like an automaton, or does it enter into a meaningful discussion with me to determine my real intent here, and the best way to fulfil it?
