AI code reviewer flags random() seed-zero bug but misses the obvious: maybe AGI isn't here yet

Dev zackoverflow asked his AI coding assistant Astra to verify a random function's correctness just by reading it. Astra caught that a seed of 0 would make random() return zero forever — but the way it reasoned through the code suggests current models still lack true understanding. His take: we're not quite in AGI times yet.
