"I'm not really sure what he expected here, ChatGPT ..."
Doctoring is quite similar to ITing if you are careful with your similes. In medicals you look for indications and contraindications. In IT you look for magic beans and sometimes look at logfiles.
I have no idea why we (IT) don't follow the medical way and have indications and contras (I do). They have been doing complicated diagnostics way longer than we have.
BTW: It doesn't worry about a char but about which word will come next.
ChatGPT has written several programs for me. One of them was decent after much negotiation. The rest needed some changes.
At one point I told it to change language (BASH to Python) for a script and it did. I spend 20 mins fining stuff and cracked on.
- HillRat 4y agoThere was an old USENIX symposium where one of the talks was, "If computers had blood, they'd call us doctors." My thought at the time was, "If computers had blood, they'd call us serial killers."

- iudqnolq 4y agoDoctors separate their sources of information into signs (objectively observed) and symptoms (subjectively reported). Both signs and symptoms can be indication or contradictions. Tangentially I wonder if there's sources of diagnostic info in tech that are closer to symptoms than signs. You might separate out potentially unreliable info reported by the suspect system from more objective info other systems see.
