I figured there would be. It just provides another point that it's not really understanding, and it's not really "extracting the pattern".

I really wish half the effort on generation would be spent on leveraging them for guided exploration. It wouldn't matter if you were provided slightly incorrect suggestions for "likely relevant functions," but even likely correct source code doesn't cut it.

Or even snippet prototyping. Like don't use the generated text directly, provide an interface that I can use to transform the generated code into a snippet that I can save.
