AppleScript, defying intelligence

David Sparks, in an episode of the Mac Power Users podcast:

“My test for these AI engines that say they can program is asking them to make an AppleScript, because I’m convinced that AppleScript is the hardest language for a computer to learn how to program. And they routinely fail at it.”

What I wrote after asking ChatGPT to create an AppleScript: “AppleScript seems to defy both artificial and human intelligence.” ChatGPT did much a better job (in six tries) creating Alfred workflows.
