Will this attract the average joe user who just thought it was fun? Who do you think will be the target market/first adopters to pay?

It’s not up to date for any libraries past it’s training date, so are you using it as a rough answer or are your questions not generally library specific?

correct. nothing specific. I’ve given it a bit of code and asked it to add doc strings to it. it was meh.

I’ve asked it to help me set up a new environment. it gave me old set up instructions but was able to make my way through by changing old versions. a lot like google.

it will write a lot of boiler tests. I’ve asked it to write a script and then write a unit test for the script. that was also meh but it was a good scaffold

I think a lot of people would pay for the initial model they first released. Since then they've been censoring the shit out of it to avoid controversy, and a fair amount of the hype died down among the average joes.

At this point I think their main target demo will be white collar workers who use it to make work easier. However, the hype will pick back up once they connect it to the internet.
