I've been using ChatGPT to provide output for very basic stuff, it's 50/50 if it works for the basic stuff. And 100% fails on complex stuff.

It's super useful for finding out how things work like asking it how to use an SDK to do something it works really well for it even provides stuff I searched the docs repeatedly for.

But for complex logic that I want to be too lazy to do, it literally just wastes my time. I tried for an hour to get it to do something and tried to modify the code to get it to work. Ended up just doing my own version completely.

My experience to date is very much along the lines of your experiences. ChatGPT is basically returning a mashup of what it previously found on the internet.

Statistical correlation != innovative solutions to real world problems.
