Sounds amazing, but the computer didn’t do it out of blue with intelligence, but more like cookie-cutter style from already existing code.

What’s the big deal about that?

That’s not true. It didn’t have access to the internet and no LLM has the fidelity to reproduce code verbatim from its training data at the project level. In this case, it’s true that compilers were in its training data but only helped at the conceptual level and not spitting verbatim gcc code.
