I would hate to see your code if you think ChatGPT’s code works great. I’m guessing you’ve never asked it do anything complex.

Its like anything else, in that if you aren't getting good results working with ChatGPT, you simply might not be informed enough to ask the right questions. If you don't know what the right question is to ask, or how to form it, you'll get poor results. I've been working in my field long enough to know where almost all of the bodies are buried, so I don't fall into the kinds of traps that novices do when they really don't understand what they are doing (although its not always obvious to them that they don't).

This. It's taken me a while to learn how to use it effectively. I'm still learning, but I get much better results than I used to.
