That's wild. I've never had it spit out complete garbage, but the quality of ChatGPT has significantly dropped. Plenty of responses are downright false. Sad it's gone this way.

i keep seeing people say this stuff but i think it's just confirmation bias over prolonged usage. i pumped out a full stack webapp with chatgpt 4 in the last week in languages i had little experience with and routinely use it to learn about new topics with great success. i think it's incredible.

  Same with me. I learned to process data in ways I never have before, worked with Julia and Elixir in new ways, made some interesting geographical visualizations—all fairly new territory for me, and it was a huge success. It went faster than it normally would, and as I result, I stayed super engaged and on task. Nothing I couldn't do without ChatGPT, but certainly a lot of fun to explore and learn with.

  I’m so tired of hearing this confirmation bias reply. It CLEARLY is worse, and not from this post which looks like a glitch. Unless you are completely and utterly oblivious beyond words, it’s extremely obvious. I can’t even get it to print 1-2 lines of Ruby without errors of some kind when it used to write entire complex controllers flawlessly. This is 1 of 100 examples I’ve seen with my own eyes.

    well, as i mentioned i have had it print several thousand lines of code very recently without these kinds of issues, so perhaps this reflects some calivinistic fate on your part

  It's not confirmation bias. Proof is I did the same, built two different webapps with languages I had little experience in, both before and after chatGPT got worse. In the latter case, I struggled much to remind it again and again of the context we are working in and had to give the current code state repeatedly as input for it to output modified code. It clearly can't remember the context and produces subpar code in a non-trivial project.

I mean..it's not designed to spit out facts, only what it sees a lot of.
