My flow with ChatGPT lately is like this:
1. I get stumped and ask it “can I do thing X with technology Y?”
2. It always says “yes, here is how”
3. A majority of the time, it’s lying and you can’t actually do whatever I asked it.
It’s incredibly frustrating - it’s like it doesn’t know how to say “no”.
Granted, I am usually asking it pretty niche stuff about iOS development, but so far it’s proving to be a waste of time. I guess it does feel good to feel like you have a lead on some problem you’ve been beating your head against for hours, but then the harsh reality of actual reality comes quick.
- spokeonawheel 4y ago> its like it doesnt know how to say "no" chatGPT is basically a junior dev. Does grunt work, gets it wrong from time to time, and doesnt ever say no even when its appropriate

- bakuninsbart 4y agoThis might be an issue of phrasing though: ChatGPT isn't good if it has too many options, in my experience it helps a lot to narrow down tech and specs as much as possible. In addition, if you know how to do X in Z, you can usually quite effectively ask it how to do X in Y in line with Z.
