Don't get hung up on what GPT-4 can do. That's irrelevant. Even Sam Altman calls GPT-4 "mildly embarrassing".

"Don't skate to where the puck is, skate to where the puck is going." In 2028, for instance, will GPT-7 (or whatever) be able to handle solving a merge conflict? I expect it will.

Ok, so are you advertising your product using features it doesn’t yet have? Not cool.

It's totally cool. It's not a product yet, it's a one-person project so far. I'm not asking anyone for any money. I expect one day that it will be a product.

It's still an alpha (see the highlighted note towards the top of the readme). There are features I intend to ship in 1.0 that aren't even started.

And even if all goes as well as possible, it won't ship 1.0 until 2026 at the earliest, which means early adopters, and mass adoption not until 2027 or 2028.

If you're going after something as big as Git, it takes time. It would be irresponsible to not think about where computing will be in a few years vs. today as I work on it.
