Rather than 'smarter search or autocomplete', maybe the better analogy is 'flexible information lookup about coding that's more responsive to search terms'? I see it not as an intelligence but as a wildly, spectacularly compressed knowledge base. You're trying to get search results that encompass almost any possible thing you could ask for, but rather than drawing from some textbook you're drawing from a distilled combination of ALL textbooks and everything web-scrapable since before the dotcom days.

Of course this doesn't produce a useful person who always makes right choices, but isn't it interesting that you can compress that heavily and draw results out in such a casual way? Seems this remains relevant.
