In addition to making people stupid, I wonder what affect will LLMs like Claude will have on programmers? How will new programmers learn if companies start using Claude?

I get that there are no hard-and-fast rules for the use of ‘er’ when it comes to comparative adjectives, but I feel more stupid every time I hear “stupider”.
It’s the sylablle count…
1 syllable: er
3 syllables: more
2 syllables: usually “er” but even when typing someone’s spoken accent tends to effect their preference.
Since you prefer “more stupid” I’m curious if you feel like your pronunciation is “longer” than normal? Like you stretch the word out longer like a Southern drawl?
No right or wrong answer, just curious.
Are you saying “more” is syllabler than -er?
It has an extra mouth shape, but unless you pronounce it “mowar” it’s still one syllable.
That’s a wild way to interpret something…
If that was your assumption here, you’re gonna be a lot better off just asking people what they meant and keeping your guesses to yourself. People are just gonna assume you won’t understand anyways with guesses like that.
