While the end result isn't perfect, it's still highly impressive and while I was an AI-skeptic before, I now see the possible benefits of AI assistants for programming.
Some other prompts with very impressive results:
* "Write an implementation for the following Kotlin repository interface: <insert-interface-with-full-type-signatures>."
* (followup) "Add save/load methods that store the backing map in a JSON file"
* (followup) "Replace Gson with Jackson for JSON serialization"
* "Write an Android layout xml for a login form with username/password/loginbutton"
* (followup) "Provide the Kotlin activity code for this layout"
* "Write a Kotlin function that parses a semver input string into a data class"
