Right now, for me, it’s fancy Auto Complete at best.
I get a Free subscription to it by using my kids EDU email accounts. Which is handy :)

It was clearly just regurgitating code from a book on the subject, and that just feels wrong to me.
At least give credit to the Authors and reference the book so I can go read the suggested chapters LOL
