GPT strips things of context, and this makes it difficult to know how much to trust it, and value it in comparison to alternatives.

I mean if you don't mind quake3 code turning up in your work, and don't mind even knowing that's what it is and where it came from then i guess that level of don't give a crap matches what you are doing - seriously if it's just a hack i have nothing against this, but it doesn't feel right for any long living code.
