      Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
 - ...credible sources, with...
 - ...their original headlines, that...
 - ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
 
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Chatgpt and other LLMs are fantastic technical task assistants but, and this is a big but, you need to treat their work the same way you'd treat work from a new intern. Verify the output before you trust it.
It’s just making some front end stuff for other people to use to access PDFs on my server that need some level of protection and access control.
So, it’s been pretty easy to verify.
I’m too paranoid about trusting it or even myself to write code that could have irreversible effects.
Thanks for the advice🙏
