Isn't that just because others have stored solutions to these problems in GitHub?

  That is my question too. Is it a fancier autocomplete? Or does it reason about code?
  • robbedpeter 5y ago
    It reasons over the semantic network between tokens, in a feedforward inference pass over the 2k(ish) words or tokens of the prompt. Sometimes that reasoning is superficial and amounts to probabilistic linear relationships, but it can go deeply abstract depending on training material, runtime/inference parameters, and context of the prompt.

    In some sense you could think of as a fancy autocomplete which uses not only code but also comments as input, looks up previous solutions for the same problem but (mostly) appropriately replaces the variable names to those that you are using.

  Probably, also I’m sure 99%+ of the code I author isn’t groundbreaking and someone did it before.
