Yeah, IDK, of all the things an AI can do for us, code generation seems to be the one I'm actually least interested in. It's anecdotes like this that sort reinforce that feeling.
I would much rather have a "rubber ducky" that I can try and explain my thought process to, and then it can try to question me and poke holes in my thinking. I think my expectations on AI are pretty realistic and I don't really expect it to ever be ever *thinking* in the way I associate with the word, not with today's SoA at least. In that respect I'm just not particularly interested in it generating code, but that also may come down to our individual preferences for how we write code.
At any rate, my issue is that it fails at the "rubber ducky" position I mentioned earlier. It's not really able to follow a train of thought that I have, in a reasonably competent way, and every time I have tried to do work with it I just end up feeling silly for anthropomorphizing something that I know isn't really, even if for a second. Just my $0.02 though, I'm glad so many people seem to like it and am happy for them.
