It's autocomplete on steroids…

That can guide me through the process of writing a Navier-Stokes simulation…

In a foreign language…

That can be trivially put into a loop and tasked with acting like an agent…

And which is good enough that people are already seriously asking themselves if they need to hire people to do certain tasks…

…

Why call BS?

It's not perfect, sure, but it's not making a highly regional joke about the Isle of White Ferry[0] either.
