> GPT-4 can't even write coherent Elixir, presumably because the dataset was too small to get it to the level that it's at for Python

Yes but it does save me a whole bunch of time writing boilerplate command line entries in argparse. I can give it a table definition and ask it to write a bunch of crud methods instantly. I can do all of this myself but why?

Of course the stuff it produces doesn't work all the time but then I'm not asking it to write my entire app. I'm asking it to spare me the tedium of iterating over the building blocks so that I can get to the main part - building things.
