Okay but what problem does that solve? Is the solution setting up our own spambots to fill forums with arguments counter to their bullshit spambots? I don't see how an LLM improves literally anything ever in any circumstance.
It definitely improves my experience coding in unfamiliar languages. So there's your counter example.
Alan Perlis said "A programming language that doesn't change the way you think is not worth learning."
So... if you code in another language without actually "getting it", solely having a usable result, what is actually the point of changing languages?
I have a job to do. And I understand the other language conceptually, I am just rusty on the syntax.
Also the chat feature is invaluable. I can highlight a piece of code and ask what it does, and copilot explains it.
