Every time I have asked ChatGPT to code something it seems to lose the thread halfway through and starts giving nonsensical code. I asked it to do something simple in HP41C calculator code and it invented functions out of whole cloth.
When it starts going off the rails like that I also ask it to "check its work when its done", and it seems to extend the amount of usable time before it loses the plot and suggests i use VBA or something.
