If your work is bleeding edge enough, even ChatGPT won't be of help since it's not in their training dataset.

Yeah and it won’t tell you that it hasn’t seen this pattern before. It will just make things up out of the blue which seem like they might be correct.

Stay away from ChatGPT for bleeding edge things.

It's still useful when it's wrong because it can give you the jist of what should be done. If it uses a library or function that doesn't exist, you'll still be informed as to what it was intending for the process at that point. I've often gone and just replaced the made-up code with custom code that does the same thing.
