OK, I think "syntax" might mean different things to different people.

I'll give you an example: at one time I essentially re-implemented the behavior of a WeakMap in JS because I didn't know that the language feature existed. AI is much better at implicitly "knowing" these things because it can model the entire language and possible token-space much better than humans can. That is something I always struggled with; my long-term memory is not great.

I think that's very different from remembering how to write a basic function.
