> I've just had GPT-4o write me a full-featured 2048 clone in ~6 hours of casual chat, in between of work, making dinner, and playing with kids; it cost me some $4 in OpenAI bills, and I didn't write a single line of code.

This kind of example always confuses me. I don't see the value vs reading an article like this: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-make-2048-game-in-r...

If I said I built a 2048 clone by following this tutorial, noone would be impressed. I just don't see how reading a similar tutorial via a chat interface is some groundbreaking advancement.

The difference is that with a chat interface you can ask it questions, you can brainstorm with it, you can drill down into specific concepts and you can do it any language/framework, without waiting for a tutorial to be written for it. And it would help you do the "homework" at the end.

For the tutorial you linked to, there's a lot of prior knowledge assumed, which the author alludes to in the summary, which a chat interface would help with:

This time I decided to focus on the essence of the topic rather than building basic React and CSS, so I skipped those basic parts. I believe it makes this article easier to digest.
