interesting....
#isOdd is not Smalltalk, neither Pharo 10 nor VAST 12 understands this
message ;-)
If I evaluate your snippet -replacing #isOdd for #odd, I get an empty
Collection. The divisible by 4 things is somewhat interesting, because
(1 to: 100 by: 4) is amn interval 1,5,9 etc.... ;-)
So chatGPT is probably a newbie in Smalltalk. Interesting is how logical
the explanation sounds, you're tempted to believe it...

it's interesting to see how the answer changes with only a small
change on the question:
(1 to: 100 by: 4) reject: [:i | i isOdd]
gives:
The code creates a collection of numbers from 1 to 100, incrementing
by 4 at each step using the|to:by:|message. It then applies
the|reject:|message to this collection, which returns a new collection
containing all elements for which the given block evaluates to false.
In this case, the block is|[i | i isOdd]|, which checks whether a
given number|i|is odd using the|isOdd|method. So the result of the
entire expression is a collection of all even numbers between 1 and
100 that are divisible by 4.

Of course everyone is talking about ChatGPT, and I saw a post to
ExplainCode and didn’t expect it to understand Smalltalk, so was
impressed that it does! Presumably the Tonel Smalltalk code on
GitHub has helped along with numerous articles?
Try it out: https://whatdoesthiscodedo.com/
I gave this simple example: (1 to: 100 by: 3) reject: [:i | i isOdd]
And got this (neat eh):
The code above is written in the programming language Smalltalk.
It creates a collection of numbers from 1 to 100, incrementing by
3 at each step. This is done using the "to:by:" construct where
the starting value is 1, the ending value is 100, and the
increment is 3.
The resulting collection is then filtered using the "reject:"
method, which takes a block of code as an argument. In this case,
the block checks whether each element (denoted by the variable i)
is odd by using the "isOdd" method. If an element is odd, it will
be rejected from the collection.
So, the final result is a collection of all even numbers from 1 to
100, incrementing by 3 at each step.
