I think you may be misunderstanding how I and others are using it; I feel you are viewing it as very much an either-or proposition of "it either writes code for me or tells me exactly what's wrong" or it's unusable. For example, there are still questions one would have as one goes along for "investigative problem-solving" which GPT-4 is useful for answering. > In my experience, every current AI model gives up long before writing a complete piece of software. I don't get why you want to get it to write a complete piece of software.

Agree or disagree with it, my overall point is that once you leave the safe-harbor of simple scripting, GPT falls off hard. It's entirely possible that I've just been pushing it too hard, but for a lot of queries I get conflicting, wrong or outdated suggestions. Trying to shoehorn it in as a problem-solver in those situations has repeatedly failed on me. > I feel you are viewing it as very much an either-or proposition of "it either writes code for me or tells me exactly what's wrong" or it's unusable. Yeah, kinda. If ChatGPT spends it's output tokens telling you wrong, unnecessary or unhelpful information, it's not usable. Once it passes a certain bar of unreliability, it becomes useless. I'm not sure any place I've worked at in the past would feel comfortable paying me to roll those dice with ChatGPT on their systems. I'm not against people empowering themselves by delegating AI for programming. Knock yourself out, if you want to develop like that it is entirely your prerogative.
