AI is code – and can't be prompted into being smarter

jqwik author Johannes Link added an anti-AI clause and made the tool's output instruct AI coding agents to delete jqwik tests and code. Human devs who read the docs won't be affected, but bots that ingest raw output will comply. The article uses this to argue that LLMs are just code—they swallow whatever you feed them, and prompting won't make them smarter. Other examples include models going off the rails when asked to roleplay Dune characters.

Why it matters: Hits all three HKR axes: novel technique, concrete case, hits a daily pain point for devs. Docked because it's commentary, not primary research, and The Register isn't a tier-1 AI source — 72 at the featured threshold.
