> with a bit of back and forth you can get pretty good results that work with only a bit of revision

The problem for me is that the "back and forth" and "a bit of revision" steps very often end up taking more time than writing the code myself would have.

Thats because you actually know what youre doing haha.

In all seriousness I am not a software engineer and GPT has enabled me to build things in a couple weeks that would have taken me months of effort to create otherwise.

I am sure an actual software engineer could have made those same tools in a day or two but its still incredible for my use case.

Yeah, also, you tend to need to know the answer before you prompt it.

It's kind of like a Ouija board, in that you get out what you expect.
