I’ve experimented with it a bit and found it can’t really do anything you might consider specialist.

If I ask it detailed questions about the topic I did my PhD on, it can’t answer correctly. I worked on fluid dynamics for a couple of years in my first role, and there is a well known algorithm called SIMPLE for computing time evolution of steady state problems, and it couldn’t generate code for this even with lots of playing with prompts.

I do web stuff more these days and I couldn’t get it to output a fully working React hook in Typescript that POSTs with Axios; there was always some sort of type error.
