The audacity and randomness of it - System of a Down with the lyrics 'I don't think you trust In my self-righteous suicide' in Chop Suey plays fine in the same playlist.
No objections about 'Hurt' by NIN/Johnny Cash also.

It's solving 'mechanical' problem. The optimistic twist on this helper is that it just raises the bar - human programmer should better be more useful than 'brainless' code generator - meaning not only being able to write a loop or solve leetcode task, but also understand context and what he's trying to solve for.
As you say typing code is not a bottleneck for problem solving

So if it was trained using "source code from publicly available sources, including code in public repositories on GitHub." was it also GPLv2?
So everything generated also GPLv2?

You might want to look up what was up with Cambridge Analytica - Michael Lewis has one of episodes in Against the Rules (podcast) - it's a good place to start.
There was nothing at all. No predictive power. Total waste of money and it's funny this example keeps coming up

That an interesting question. Would you like to work in a tandem with a person with mental health problems? Is it the same as asking "people with chronic fatigue and similar health issues are not welcome at company specialized at manual labor" ?
