Do any non-corpos actually like AI slop?

ChatGPT is incredibly good at helping you with random programming questions, or just dumping a full ass error text and it telling you exactly what's wrong.
This afternoon I used ChatGPT to figure out what the error preventing me from updating my ESXi server. I just copy pasted the entire error text which was one entire terminal windows worth of shit, and it knew that there was an issue accessing the zip. It wasn't smart enough to figure out "hey dumbass give it a full file path not relative" but eventually I got there. Earlier this morning I used it to write a cross apply instead of using multiple sub select statements. It forgot to update the order by, but that was a simple fix. I use it for all sorts of other things we do at work too. ChatGPT won't replace any programmers, but it will help them be more productive.
Agree to disagree. If you trust this, you're a fool. Trust me, I've tried for hours asking it about a myriad of tech issues, and it just constantly fucking lies.
It can help you, but NEVER trust it. Never. Google everything it tells you if it's important.
Honestly, if that is your impression, I think you're using it wrong and expecting the wrong results from it.
If you blindly trust it then yeah it will cause problems. But if you know what you're doing, but forget X or Y minor thing here and there, or just need some direction it's amazing.
A lot of papers are showing that the code written by people using ChatGPT have more vulnerabilities and use more obsoleted libraries. Using ChatGPT actively makes you a worse programmer, according to that logic.
Yes. It's not an expert. It feigns this, but it's all lies.
It'll also save the programmers questions from the moderately technically-inclined non-programmers at work! Haha
