That may have been a bad example because for recipes it could just search the web and infer that vegetables go with olive oil for a stir fry. Where it's impressed me so far is in taking a piece of complex code and being able to refactor it, add features, write unit tests, and write up development plans. That text doesn't exist. It has to do some form of reasoning to interpret the code and come up with solutions for that particular problem.

Syntax is syntax. I think from the standpoint of making a computer do something, it's really not that different from language processing. That, and just like when you ask it to make a new recipe or whatever else, it is liable to make up something nonsensical and fail to identify the problem unless you spell it out first.
