Hey George. This is pretty good.
I have it set up in my editor so I can ask questions without switching to a browser.
One thing that's been tricky already is that ChatGPT relies on older data, so it will give outdated terraform answers.
Still, this feels like it's here to stay.

Thanks Thomas for pointing that out. I was too excited with the tool to even notice. The IDE integration is also very neat.

I wonder does it use Google to extract the information

I'm not sure but given its one question one answer approach, there must be some kind of algorithm happening in the background to find the best fitting response to a question. I find it very interesting how some people say they built an application out of just using ChatGPT.
