ChatGPT Allocates Enough Memory

Waffles Post my meme to the memes page Though malloc is a very useful function in c, it is not without its problems. The biggest is that it can be confusing for some to decide how much memory to allocate, needing complicated statements with sizeof. To solve this I propose a new alternative to malloc that utilizes the power of modern developments in AI, mallocPlusAI. The usage is simple. int* x = (int*)mallocPlusAI("Enough memory to store up to 5 integers"); mallocPlusAI takes in a character array which is forwarded to a ChatGPT instance alongside an initial prompt "You are a memory allocator for a computer, and you need to tell me how many bytes of memory I would need to accomplish a certain task. Make sure to give your response as only a whole number of bytes, do not provide any other text. Here is what I request:

A screenshot shows a chat message from “Waffles” asking for the meme to be posted to the memes page, followed by a fake programming explanation introducing “mallocPlusAI,” an AI-powered replacement for the C malloc function. The joke is that a simple memory-allocation task is needlessly delegated to ChatGPT, parodying overuse of AI in programming and the absurdity of using natural language for a basic technical operation.
