I find it amusing that it's easier to ship a new feature than to get OpenAI to patch ChatGPT to stop pretending that feature exists (not sure how they would even do that, beyond blocking all mentions of SoundSlice entirely.)

If you gave a junior level developer just one or two files of your code, without any ability to look at other code, and asked them to implement a feature, none of them would make ANY reasonable assumptions about what is available?

This seems similar, and like a decent indicator that most people (aka the average developer) would expect X to exist in your API.
