See, that's the thing. If you take a charitable interpretation of what he's attempting to say, it still doesn't make sense.

You paste a full file from a project into Grok and it "will fix it for you!"

If you gave me, a human, a file and asked me to fix it, before I did anything else, I'd ask you "ok, what's wrong with it?" Any human who didn't and just dove right into trying to fix it would often just give you a "working" program that still didn't do what you actually wanted. Sure, sometimes the answer is obvious, it doesn't compile, or it generates unexpected errors. But, often when you hear the answer, the response is "ah, well, I think you've overlooked something when thinking about the problem, have you considered X and Y?"
