Yes and no.

In many cases (like for the Gradle DSL, that can be both the old Groovy-based one or the new Kotlin-based one) it is sufficient to specify which version you’re using and, as long as this doesn’t get too far in its context window forcing you to repeat it, you are good to go.

But for niche libraries that have recently undergone significant refactors with the majority of the tutorials and examples still built with past versions, they have a huge bias towards the old syntax, making it really difficult - if not impossible - to make them use the new functions (at least for ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot with the “Web search” functionality on).
