Google can generate code.

- Google: How do I ... - visit stack overflow - copy/paste - code generated.

There's more steps, but how is this different? Chat GPT though will go the extra mile and actually EXPLAIN what each bit does usually. It's not always accurate but neither is stackoverflow.

It’s different in that the text that’s displayed in a chatgpt response never existed anywhere before you asked the question.

That’s what « generating » means, in that context.
