A month or so ago I was doing some analysis on our mailing list traffic. I had a complex SQL query (involving tables mapping variations of email addresses to names, and then names to companies they worked for within specific date ranges), that I'd last modified a year previously (the last time I was doing the same sort of analysis), and didn't feel like wrapping my head around the SQL again; so I pasted it into GPT-4 and asked it, "Can you modify this query to group all individuals with less than 1% total contributions into a single 'Other' category?" The query it spat out worked out of the box.

Whatever it's doing, at least for code, it's not a glorified Markov chain -- there's some sort of a model in there.
