There's an inherent assumption here that it's a negative trait, but for a lot of tasks I use GPT for, it's the opposite. I don't need to see all the implied imports, or often even the full bodies of the methods — only the relevant parts. It means that I get to the parts that I care about faster, and that it's easier to read overall.
The problem is that it omits the code you want it to write, and instead leaves comments with homework assignments like "# implement method here".
GPT-4 Turbo does this a lot if you don't use the unified diffs approach I outline in the linked article.
