I made a none-gpt variant of this idea for fun after watching some breathless microsoft video about AI in VS code, which amounted to autocomplete sorted by popularity.

It is just a wrapper to howdoi with a sprinkle of extra logic to make it a bit more useful.

Rather than creating fake code that looks real, this gives you the S.O. code answers verbatim. So you know it is probably out of date or wrong. At least you cant delude yourself (if you don't know how to write a piece of code then how can you judge the code written by GPT?).

My tool is great for getting a quick reminder of syntax without needing to switch to a browser. I could improve it by adding metadata like the date of the answer and comments maybe.
