These responses look to me more like the AI is really good at searching StackOverflow and returning the code from a random answer, not really writing code itself. I guess being able to replace programmers who Google stuff and copy the first answer from StackOverflow without understanding it will save some time, but it doesn’t really feel transformational to me.
You can Google its answers. I’ve been googling its answers and am not generally finding direct copy-pastes for each, though I’m also a bit confused about why Google is obtaining no results for short strings such as “(s[0:length] == s[length::-1])”.
ETA: even if it’s copying code but modifying it slightly so that the variable names match, it seems like (1) this is itself pretty impressive if it actually works reliably, and (2) I don’t think the claim is that current tech is literally shovel ready to replace programmers. That would be a strawman. It’s about noticing the potential of this tech before it reaches its destination.

Have you tried, y’know, testing your belief? ;)
