AI Attempt: Remove all occurrences

Time: 0:00

What it should do

A developer asked ChatGPT to 'write a function that removes all occurrences of a specific item from an array in-place'. The AI confidently provided this code. It passes the basic test removeAll([1, 2, 3], 2), but fails in production.

What goes wrong

removeAll([1, 2, 2, 3], 2) returns [1, 2, 3] instead of [1, 3]. It missed the second 2!

Hints
