Huh? They provide a service that did not work before and now does and was quickly adopted. They do not have a moat.
ChatGPT is overly cautious and wants to send me to see a doctor or go to the hospital for pretty much anything.

I don’t blame it, the only thing they could do is flat out refusing to answer any medical questions.

It‘s only unwinnable for Russia. Ukraine is defending itself, successfully.
The sentiment was the exact opposite of what you described.

And the problems Germany has currently are mostly unrelated to the war.

Coding with AI falls in one of three categories:

1. The thing to be written is available online. AI is a search engine to find it, maybe also translate it to the language of choice.

2. The thing (system or component or function) is genuinely new. The spec has to be very precise and the AI is just doing the typing. This is, at best working around syntax issues, such as some hard-to-remember particular SQL syntax or something like that. The languages should be better.

3. It‘s neither new nor available online but a lot to type out and modify. The AI does all the boilerplate. This is a failure of the frameworks and languages to require so much boilerplate.
