FWIW I've had the exact opposite experience with ChatGPT 4. I did have some issues with the code not always being 100%, but I've found it invaluable when I don't know the keywords for what I should be searching for. E.g. if I want to accomplish something fairly complicated in SQL, I'll explain the problem to ChatGPT, and it has always pointed me in the right direction as to what relatively obscure window function or whatever that I should use.

ChatGpT is good for discovering search terms I didn’t already know, but I’ve learned that I can’t trust any information it gives me.

I’ve had it write incorrect SQL many times, and when it is correct it’s not often the best query, so I only have it write sql for one off queries.
