On the other hand I’ve had vastly different experience.

Every single time I went to GPT and ask for anything development related I came back empty handed after being send for the goose chase.

An example of this would be when I asked fswatch to emit one faux event preemptively and it insisted to use “-1” instead (which quits after one event).

I had few instances for more obscure problems where GPT would actually create something I’d call parallel universe of the API. It felt good but such API never existed. Those problems were in JS, Ruby, Shellscript and Elixir.

One of the worst answer I was given was actually really buggy implementation of input controlled debounce function. It seemed correct when running but in reality it wasn’t debouncing but ignoring the output on debounce call.

So yeah, I don’t think I’ll be using GPT for that soon, but it works quite well as a rubber duck equivalent. By proposing dumb solutions I gather my thoughts better. Not sure if that’s something I’d pay for (yet I’d pay for text generating capabilities)

Edit: denounce -> debounce, because autocorrect
