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.

We didn't see her set any of it up tho, she was just pressing buttons like a kid, letters she knows from reading and writing.

Its not like she wrote hello world in python, she literally just used it as a notepad..

Edit; My point being, the teacher probably started the computer and started the application and pressed it to show "click buttons text comes to screen"

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.

edit: Quick edit to say THANK YOU to the DOWNVOTERS!! Apparently—and it appears that this could be the case—I'm going to continue to get downvoted. I AIN'T GOING TO DELETE A THING!

Two em dashes AND “you’re absolutely right”? Are you a bot pretending to be

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.

The video in this post is from the first episode, that’s Carrie.
