It seems OK at spewing out a bit of code it found on StackOverflow, or even joining two bits of code together, but it really falls apart when you poke at the edges of it's knowledge.

And the problem is, neither you nor it knows where those limits are, and it very quickly goes from confident copy and paste to confident bullshit.

It even knows what excuses smell like, so it'll give you one at random when you call it out.

yep. i’ve tried it a bit and the errors are blended in so well and seem so plausible, it’s worse than stack overflow….
even when just getting default arguments for a function it makes stuff up.
i do see it getting better at errors like that, but not much better….
