I've definitely experienced that ChatGPT workflow here where you just kind of constantly fighting it to get the right answer and then give up disappointed.
However, my most recent use of ChatGPT was to create a very large SQL MERGE statement. I could have coded it by hand but it was long and the MERGE syntax is sufficiently unfriendly so I just pasted in the table structure and what I wanted and it generated the several hundred lines of code I needed. Boring tedious stuff.
- IshKebab 3y agoYeah I've experienced that with ChatGPT too. But my experience of Copilot is much much better. Probably partly because it's just there in the background and you don't spend any effort trying to convince it of stuff. It just occasionally comes along and saves you 20 minutes of tedium. The autocomplete interface is also pretty good for allowing errors - it's already set up under the assumption that the suggestions are likely to be wrong, so it doesn't feel as bad when copilot suggests nonsense.
