Whenever I see people talking about how they use ChatGPT to write entire software suites, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills or something. I can't even get GPT4 to give me decent basic ass Ruby scripts where it opens a file that doesn't have some weird behavioral quirk or footgun, yet people often claim that they're doing insane feats with it all the time.
My experience, even if I'm just trying to be lazy and have it generate some super generic code for me, is that I have to spend double the time I'd have spent if I just wrote the damn script myself with how much I have to scrutinize every single line it generates.
And I personally have 0 desire to prompt "engineer" and do the "Open"AI's work for it by thinking up the perfect prompt for it. One day for sure these AI models will be really good and able to do some impressive stuff, but for now all I can see is a hype wave from people with vested interests in this stuff pushing it onto ignorants, akin to the crypto BS just with even more money behind it.
- no-ramen 3y agoI feel like those people who have most success with it use GPT for extremely common problems in the most popular JavaScript web frameworks. My experience with GPT-3.5 but Dart/Flutter is exactly the same
- Kailhus 3y agoI’ve had the same experience. Moreover, had to deal with some questionable code from colleagues which looked fine during reviews but as soon as you use it within context the control flow is totally out of whack resulting in by the weirdest debugging sessions. Not cool
