What you do is use a for loop to generate a million lines for you, then paste it in. Writing it manually is moronic. You can easily make it support numbers above 1,000,000 too this way, talking about scalable

No, silly. You ask chatgpt to write (steal) a loop that would generate all those lines. Haven't you heard about meta-vibe template-programming?

I once saw someone unironically sharing their new trick of "if you need to write a bunch of really similar lines just with different numbers, chatGPT does it really well".

Kind of blew my mind (and everyone else that saw the thread)
