> To my experience, AIs can generate perfectly good code relatively easy things, the kind you might as well copy&paste from stackoverflow, and they'll very confidently generate subtly wrong code for anything that's non-trivial for an experienced programmer to write. How do people deal with this? Well, just in the last 24 hours, ChatGPT gave me solutions to some relatively complex problems that turned out to be significantly wrong. Did that mean it was a complete waste of my time? I’m not sure. Its broken code gave me a starting point for tinkering and exploring and trying to understand why it wasn’t working (even if superficially it looked like it should). I’m not convinced I lost anything by trying its suggestions. And I learned some things in the process (e.g. asyncio doesn’t play well together with Flask-Sock)
