The problem is its difficult to track what ChatGPT can and can't do. One day it'll give you junk and then an update or different prompt might fix that problem.

- ilc 3y agoThat's why you look at what it says with a critical eye. I think of ChatGPT like a pretty smart co-worker. Just because they are smart doesn't mean they are always right.
- nottorp 3y agoI'm using it mostly instead of API documentation. And for stuff I already have an idea of. Don't trust it further than that.
- ilc 3y agoThere's times when there's no good docs.... ChatGPT can give you a spot to start from, even if it is wrong. Trusting it blindly is stupid. But, so is trusting any sources without verification.
- tstrimple 3y agoIndeed. Most developers with enough experience have probably encountered documentation which was wrong or incorrect implementations against a spec which amounts to basically the same thing. A discrepancy between the documented reality and the actual reality.
- blharr 3y agoClearly, yes. What I mean in relation to the post is that it's hard to even make a question that ChatGPT will fail destructively without doing a lot of research in advance. In many cases, even if it fails, it'll have a reasonable mistake that a normal human might make -- and a normal interviewer doesn't have the time to fine tune, craft, and research how to mess up an AI
