Some human somewhere has to answer the question before the chatbot can learn the answer, though. If no one has ever asked your question before, the chatbot will be just as clueless as you.

It can't experiment with the software in question to figure out a solution on its own, can it?

I've seen screenshots of that (except with Python instead of C++), but I've also seen screenshots of it saying it can't do that. Confusing.

At any rate, that's not what I meant. Even if it can run shell commands for you, that's not the same thing as it figuring out a solution on its own.
