It's interesting you say this. I spent the weekend playing with ChatGPT to try and get it to build a Swift app for iOS and macOS (I have zero previous experience with Swift). Thankfully I had a compiler to back me up and tell me if things actually worked. I found the whole experience a little jarring. ChatGPT was pretty good at generating some code, but it felt a lot like a job interview where I'm working hard to coach a candidate into the right answer. Or, now that you mention it, some previous experiences I've had trying to work with outsourced providers where we're trying to overcome a language barrier.
The problems are often that I got exactly what I asked for. Not a thing more, no context that I thought would be assumed (e.g., don't remove the functionality I asked you to implement in the previous step), just a very literal interpretation of the asks.
I definitely found myself quickly adapting to try and be clearer and potentially over expressive in my prompts.
