smh. I wonder if Bard is any better at it, if it's trained on Google's code it would be familiar with the pattern

Yeah, it’s a common “mistake”. The bed experience is, when I use ChatGPT to refactoring my code, always remove the assignment loc.

Oh man it's been a while since I run into that scoping issue since I don't use Go that much anymore. Glad they're finally fixing it.
