Given I don't have petabytes of information accessible for instant retrieval (including perfect copies of my language of choice's entire API) I don't think that's comparable. I wouldn't need the entire if I'd memorized a large portion of it.
GPTs don't have access to petabytes of information, that's the point. Only to some internal representation.
Unlike current LLMs, your typical competent programmer would not hallucinate.
