Don't use it.
I tried using it for coding but it made up APIs constantly or had subtle errors. I don't know what people mean when they say it works for them. I can see it help as an icebreaker though. It just helps me get in the mood sometimes.
Other factual stuff ex nutrition questions, health stuff, historic events etc it's quite useless.
I am an LLM skeptic. I think there're a lot of people who're claiming that they find it valuable just like crypto was claimed to be valuable
- fhd2 3y agoPeople's brains work differently. I enjoy starting from an empty file, it was never an issue for me. But I know quite a few people who struggle until they have some kind of draft in front of them. I also know enough people with programming jobs that struggle with writing code, remembering all the keywords and everything. They're OK at reading it though. Personally I'm in the same camp as you - I don't use it. It wasn't able to really help me do anything I do. But I can appreciate that it works for people different from me, good for them.

I also find it very tiring to have to review all the iterations of the code. I do find GitHub Copilot quite valuable at work, especially when it recommends one liners (they are easy to review, so I just feel like I'm writing faster). To be fair to ChatGPT, on one of my recent experiment it actually said something along the lines of "you need to integrate with the library/API yourself", and it only started spewing garbage after I insisted to write the code. I see a lot of people online complaining that GPT is getting lazy, but I would rather have it lazy than wrong.
