You're fine, thanks for the apology.
I agree that GPT is very impressive, but just today for example I asked it how I can make a "virtual column" in Postgres, and it spun its gears.
I pasted the error I got from Postgres, and it said "oh, it's because you're using this function. here try this solution that doesn't use that function!"
And the solution... used that function!!
Was not even a complex ask. Concat of two other columns. I admit it was a good pointer in the right direction ("generated column" vs what I came up with "virtual column") and it was really impressive that it had a syntactically correct solution (though it didn't work)
But, if it can't do something as simple as not give me the function that doesn't work and that it understands doesn't work, that I told it it doesn't work, that the error says doesn't exist, etc.. in its new solution... after many prompts! (I exhausted my GPT-4 quota)....!
It's bad. It just isn't going to do much here past the initial "get me started" which, I do admit, is really impressive!
It just isn't what people are claiming it is :)
