Yes. But ChatGPT gets me closer to correctly working code that meets my requirements than a random Google search.
For the longest though it got the answer wrong “what is 123 times 456”. But it did turn a Python+boto3 40 line script into a correctly working Node+JS/AWS SDK script for me.

- ksaj 4y agoYup, that matches my experience. When you realize how conversational ChatGPT is, you adjust the way you use it in order to get good code from it. It doesn't take long to know instinctively what things it gets wrong. When it happens, I also give feedback because I'd love for this to work more fully when it is no longer beta. I got it to translate a C encryption algo into Lisp, and ended up learning from its descriptions how C doesn't have (atom), but it useful here because <yadda yadda>. When I asked it how C would do (atom) it gave me a sample that would work in the original C code I gave it, but then stated that while it should work in that case, it probably wouldn't in others because <same yadda yadda as earlier>. That sold me on it being a good coding partner.
