A lot of coders and software engineers are just blown away.
Like they just are starting to say, I can't believe that I just told it what to do, and then it produced software.
kind of the workload that I might have done myself in a fairly limited period of time.
All these software engineers are talking about it, and then people who aren't coders start to download it.
And not only do they try it for coding and making websites and apps and stuff like that, they also just start using it to do data analysis and other kinds of tasks.
