Another very obvious thing it does when it comes to code is take the most common misconceptions & anti-patterns used within the programming community & repeats them in an environment where there's no-one to comment. People have critiqued Stack Overflow for having so many "wrong" answers with green checkmarks, but at least those threads have surrounding context & discussion. A case in point: I asked ChatGPT to give me some code for password complexity validation. It gave me perfectly working code that took a password and validated it against X metrics. Obviously the metrics are garbage, but the code works, and what inexperienced developer would be any the wiser. The only way to get ChatGPT to generate something "correct" there would be to tell it algorithmically what you want (e.g. "give me a function measuring information entropy of inputs", etc.) - you could ask it 50 times for a password validator: every one may execute successfully & produce a desired UI output for a web designer, but be effectively nonsense.
