I may do that already when I get stuck... Tbf I am trying to learn and only ask it to explain how to do something or if I have a bug I can't figure out. I feel sometimes it's just best to get an answer if I've been stuck for a while because I'm not making progress anyway.
I swear to God it gets things wrong like 50% of the time though (both syntax and conceptually) for programming.
When I was messing around with it, I had to go back and fix it's code more often than not. It's still useful for get the be bones of a program going though.
It's not too bad for learning a new language, but you still have to make an effort to understand why the code it's giving you works... or doesn't work which can happen often.
It's so great at getting unstuck and learning news ways of doing thing that everyone knows but me. Even if most of its actual code is borked.
Yeah today after getting three bad answers in a row from ChatGPT I was quoting Thanos... "Fine. I'll do it myself."
Oh yeah for sure. It's given me incorrect code before but I was able to recognize the issue and fix the error which was mostly a logic one.
