I have done the same thing. “I am seeing the following behavior, but I expected <X>. What am I missing?” That line has often quickly solved some bugs that would have otherwise taken some time to debug. Very handy!
- DaiPlusPlus 3y agoCan you share some examples of this? I haven’t had much luck with ChatGPT correctly identifying issues because (in my case, at least) they stem from other parts of a large codebase, and (last time I checked) I couldn’t paste more than a few kilobytes of code into ChatGPT. One example are bugs caused by precondition violations, which ChatGPT can’t diagnose without also being given the code to all of the incoming call-sites, which means you end-up solving the problem yourself before you’ve even explained the issue to ChatGPT - so (to me, at least) my use of ChatGPT is more akin to rubber-duck-debugging[1] than anything else.
