Exactly! It's not even that revolutionary in my eyes... heck that's effectively what it does most of the time.

But nevertheless, it can write a ton of code and it will for the most part achieve what you want. It'll still need to be reviewed, trimmed down and optimized. To me it's just like a college essay. I can write 2000 words in a 20 minute blitz as I am sure any decent dev can write a ton of lines in the same amount of time. Is it going to be any good? Is it going to be acceptable for the level you are writing? A college paper of 2000 words I'll rewrite 4-5 times and keep maybe as much as a paragraph's worth of text from the original draft.

Like what I just wrote above, I could probably condense into a few lines if I was trying to make it a ''professional'' statement rather than casual writing. There's these degrees of competence that I think LLMs haven't reached yet.
