"Airplanes don't fly, humans do!"

People are hallucinating on this thread.

That people will say 'Code Me An App' and expect some kind of magical results, will be more common than not, but it's no way evidence that the AI can't code.

Given a sufficiently detailed prompt, the AI will produce almost whatever you ask it within a certain scale.

As sure as the sky is blue.

And it will make perfectly compilable code usually on the first prompt.

Obviously, it can code.

Obviously, it can 'synthetically reason' about the code.

You can point it an arbitrary code base and it will give a better overall assessment than most humans.

Is it fallible? Obviously. Is it limited in scope? Obviously.
