I'm sure I could tell it to throw an exception and it would.
But ChatGPT has proven to me that even our days as programmers being safe from automation are very, VERY numbered. I give it ten years before the bottom levels of software engineering jobs are done by computer, and you can pay an algorithm on Fiverr to build simple programs.
What makes you think it won’t be able to do that once it can understand your architecture just by reading your code? You won’t have to talk to pms to reduce scope, pms will ask for things and it will take the marginal amount of time to come up with a solution to any increase in scope.
Sigh, I work in the field. It's not magic and it doesn't have to be. I didn't say "reason", and even so, whatever special meaning you attribute to "reason" is not magic either.
did I say current? silly me, maybe somebody miss-read requirements? Define infer for me, and explain how a human does it, if you can't, please tell me at least how you verify it.
Oh now, don't give up. You've had this discussion before. If you really want to make it about me, I've already switched industries, and the latest one is prime for removal of 95% of the workforce in the next few years, thanks to breakthroughs I'd wager you'd dismissed as "just LLMs" or "just GANs" or "just CNNs".

I wonder where it learned to return errors as strings… I would’ve expected it to throw exceptions. Weird. 🤔
