  Why are people still upvoting obvious AI slop garbage?

Because it looks good enough to "pass". People are consuming low quality content all the time.

  It’s literally impossible to catch Pac-Man?

Not true.

  You do not move fast enough

Not true.

  the Pac-Man AI is programmed for perfection

So is it slop or programmed for perfection, which one is it? :)

I’m not going to comment on the code (I abandoned the page early due to the terrible controls) but there’s no contradiction in that part you’re commenting on. “Slop” doesn’t just mean “doesn’t work”; “programmed for perfection so it does not make deliberate mistakes” doesn’t mean “the code is perfect”.

To output text in a terminal you could use `echo`, but you could also write a 500 line function which does a bunch of unrelated garbage then finally outputs the text perfectly (i.e. no mistakes). That doesn’t mean the code is good or even acceptable or desirable, even if the outcome is technically correct.
