> You aren't understanding that even when chatGPT makes up bullshit code that's close to working it's STILL revolutionary.

I can ask google and it will bring up a stackoverflow answer as well, that has a better hit rate. This is exactly the same thing that ChatGPT does, but it is simply a better search engine. Is it revolutionary? As a search engine, sure. As a programmer? I haven’t seen any evidence of it genuinely generating novel code, and not just regurgitating found code in another language’s syntax.
