Would LLMs like GitHub Copilot/Codex/ChatGPT write better code if they had access to some sort of data for what the purpose of each token in the given input has, analogous to how syntax highlighting helps humans write code?

Anyone who has done any actual work on the Roblox platform knows that posting any of these videos serves to do nothing except discredit your opinion. They are ridiculously unrepresentative of the Roblox community and developer economics system and get some of the most basic facts about the platform incorrect.

Calling Roblox helping children to learn programming 'child labour' is just fearmongering and I don't even know where the idea we "work in sweatshops" comes from.
