Chat GPT and friends are best when you tell it to write code from scratch, even then it's only good for straight forward tasks.
Give it existing code to work with, particularly a larger code base and things get weird.
Still, I love it for hacking out small prototypes. If you don't really care about performance or best practice, it's ok.

- 999900000999 2y agoBy just giving it code files one by one. By larger I'm talking about maybe 5 or 6 files. Or to be honest Chat GPT isn't good when your fixing code that already exists.
