yesterday I coded qrpwd - a command line tool to password protect information in a QR code (as a backup for my 2 factor auth backup codes). https://github.com/franzenzenhofer/qrpwd

i say coded, i mean, i directed chatgpt to do it

chatgpt had some issues with the QR content extraction using zxing so I tried Bard.

Bard destroyed totally working code again and again while ignoring the issue on hand.

In the end I googled some stackoverflow posts with working code, fed them to chatgpt and it worked it out.

In my experience, BARD is not up to any coding tasks, while chatgpt - while not perfect - is magic.
