Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
N.J. doctors are using a party drug to send patients to ‘another planet.’ Yes, it’s legal. - NJ.com
