You could also just copy one of the many, many repos that are out there that do just this. It's not a good example.

  Of course it is. Instead of searching github and copying code you can just ask a language model to write it for you instantly. I get that this isn't in the top 50% of impressive stuff LLMs can do, but it's clearly more efficient than what you're suggesting.

    The problem is that "write it for you" implies something beyond copy-pasting, and people are complaining that this is one of the most copy-paste-y example possible. I think if proponents would use different language, there would be less complaining (but also less hype).

  That's the thing. There are a lot of examples of stuff out there that does this, some of which are probably already on the web. If you just wanted the results or a working thingy with no effort, you can use someone else's or clone a repo etc. Most of the reason for building something like this yourself is to learn more about the APIs of the data sources, the browser, the language, etc. You get none of that when copying someone else's code, or when asking ChatGPT to do it for you. So why bother?
