There’s a lot of people posting Questions to StackOverflow either admitting to first asking ChatGPT how a piece of code works… and then not understanding what it says and so then posting to SO; - I can’t fault kids for doing that, at least they at least did some self-directed research.
But the worst are people that post answers generated by ChatGPT.

Edit: for anybody who is claiming GPT "understands" the Fast Inverse Square Root algorithm, try changing all the variable names not just one.
It is still very interesting that it is able to recognize the original at all and chase down a plagiarized explanation but this isn't magic. That function has a wiki entry and is widely discussed.
This is a leap in semantic search and summarization not a NN that can code.
