It's just Pattern matching. Most APIs, and hell, most code is not unique or special. Its all been done a thousands of times before. Thats why an LLM can be helpful on some tool you've written just for yourself and never released anywhere.
As to 'knows the answer', I'm don't even know what that means with these tools.
All I know is if it is helpful or not.

- genewitch 1y agoto what does "unicorn problem" refer to? a specific thing or a general idea?
- danielbln 1y agoGeneral idea, it comes up often in LLM discussion from engineers lamenting that LLMs can never solve any novel problems. This might as well be true but as said, almost any problem can be decomposed into bite sized, non-novel parts.
