I’ve come to the conclusion that GPT produces code at a level of a new graduate at best. In actually getting it to solve something more or less on its own, it did ok on simple tasks and failed as soon as requirements became a bit more nuanced or specific. It’s also not very good at thinking out of the box, it’s solutions are all very clearly tied to its training data, meaning it struggled doing anything that strayed too far into the abstract or different. However it’s been great at being my rubber duck and it’s been great as a tool for helping me eg write complex SQL queries — never without me being a key part of the loop, but as a tool to help me fill in gaps in my own skills or understanding. That is, it amplified my abilities. It was also pretty good at creating interesting metaphors for existing concepts, explaining terminology and even explaining bits of code I gave it.
