Maybe ChatGPT just hates you personally, then.
You're saying "it can't work for anyone because it doesn't work for me!" And I'm saying "well, it worked for me, so maybe you're using it wrong."
You can't insist it's not working for me because it did. I'm not disputing that it didn't work for you, all I can suggest is reading up a bit on prompt engineering to see if you can find out what you're doing differently.
@FaceDeer @floofloof @henfredemars @PoisonedPrisonPanda @sab @Vilian I’m not saying it didn’t work for you. I’m saying it’s only good for entry level stuff… It’s not coming for my job yet, but I can seriously see it stealing work from the overseas, underpaid, code shops in China/India.
I am not an "entry level" coder.
I also am not concerned with it "coming for my job." It's a collaborator with humans, not a replacement for them.
@FaceDeer @floofloof @henfredemars @PoisonedPrisonPanda @sab @Vilian I’m not saying you are, just the code is. ChatGPT is no good at solving problems it hasn’t come across before. If code similar to yours has been asked on forums countless times in the past, you’re onto a winner. If it’s complex stuff that only one person has ever asked, and it went unanswered, then you’re gonna be out of luck
