At writing code, that might be a slight exaggeration. At explaining code it's at least at mid level, possibly better.

How many mid level developers do you know that understand the syntax and apis of every single programming language in existence?

I’ve used chatgpt recently to build an entire c++ game with sound, keyboard and mouse control, ai, etc, having never used c++ before. I’ve also never built a game before. I’ve worked with a lot mid level developers and I’ve never seen any that can write me a a c++ file giving me working code for a collision system in 30 seconds. Let me know if you find one though.
