I’m not sure if I agree with the second half of that statement. Several times I’ve asked GPT-4 to suggest ideas, and it came up with some very good ones that I would not have thought of myself. Here’s an exchange I had with it just now:

I’m also not sure if I agree with the first half, particularly the “great” in “great at executing.” While I have also been amazed a few times by code it wrote for me, I have run into more cases where, despite repeated back-and-forths with me, it was never able to produce code that ran.
Maybe better, in my experience, would be “ChatGPT can often come up with good ideas, but it is only occasionally able to execute them.”
