It all sounds like a very well orchestrated marketing campaign, HN would be the first place I would seed with stories if I was promoting it as a dev tool.

I spent few hours asking to do few things with a well documented public but uncommon api. It sent me on a wild goose chase of functionality that API never had..(contacted developer to make sure I am not crazy). It wrote some stuff that looked VERY good, except for the fact that it interacted with things that were never there. Would have been nice if they were..

It seem to exercise wishful thinking. You can ask it to implement functionality and it will just imagine that API/system has stuff needed.

Major problem is that I for one have no clue how it is "thinking" maybe over time we will develop better understanding of it.

When it imagines stuff that isn't there, I ask it to implement the missing piece. Doesn't always work, but often does
