Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

ChatGPT successfully deobfuscated a complex React application that generates ASCII art based on character sets, time, and window size. At first, the developer believed ChatGPT's implementation was inaccurate but later discovered it was due to a copy-paste error in the input code, leading to incorrect character encoding. After correcting the input, ChatGPT's output matched the original component perfectly.
