This is partially down to good promoting though.
It has seen those Stack Overflow responses and if you ask it to give you more context about a certain approach, it will.
I've learned when asking GPT-4 for help to push past the first answer, or ask it to offer more solutions. Also to ask why it choose a certain approach.
Quite often it will give me a response that doesn't fit well with my code, and I'll say "I don't want to do it this way, please give me another option, keeping in mind that [some important aspect of the code base]."
It then spits it out and it's usually way closer. Iterate on this and it's often quite good.
I think you're completely right if a person were copy pasting the first response every time, but that person is simply using it wrong in my opinion.
