If you use it right you can absolutely get complete working things like “an HTML file that contains a Preact app that calculates a tip”. You just need to give it more to go on, ideally building it up with a series of questions and answers in one thread. And then you can often ask for the complete thing and it will spit it out perfectly without silly errors like JSX syntax in HTML. I’ve found those kinds of silly errors tend to happen when you give it a very concise request that requires a complex response. Just break it down a bit like you’re dealing with some kind of idiot savant.
- chadlavi 4y agothat's interesting. I tried it the other way -- I basically acted like I was trying to teach it by calling out some mistakes and suggesting some links to examples. It kept ALMOST getting it but then forgetting something it corrected three or four tries previous.
- cal85 4y agoOh true, I’ve definitely encountered it doing that too. It’s strange (and funny) when it just keeps making the same mistake no matter how many chances you give it. It will often say that it now understands the mistake just before making the same mistake again. Or sometimes it fixes it but makes another mistake, forever alternating between the two mistakes. But I’ve also managed several times to get it to print a working program after breaking it down into multiple steps.
