Yes, because it is a bit different than a search engine. It may not be changing the files, but it is telling you the way to do it. It might give you an outdated method/pattern, it might ignore conventions, and most importantly, it doesn’t really understand the problem its solving. Its not finding the optimal answer, its finding the most common.

So the resulting answer may work, but not necessarily be right. In a disclosure (see the new thread) that would be referred to as “hint” for lllm use.

That doesn’t mean the answer you got was necessarily wrong either, just an answer based on an amalgam of the most common for all the code fed into the model, no matter when the code was written.

It would be put into an ai disclosure, so it qualifies for a tag. Make sense?
