" summary

Shows practical results from feeding C++ prompts to GitHub Copilot and inspecting its suggestions: attempts to write memory allocators, smart pointer implementations, array/container code and examples claiming to use move semantics repeatedly return raw pointer patterns and unsafe idioms. Demonstrations expose where autocomplete hallucinates, how it handles naming and comments, and when it outputs usable snippets versus misleading code, ending with playful, concrete failures rather than abstract advice.
