The idea that LLMs like GPT-4 are glorified stochastic parrots who are merely predicting the next word has been thoroughly debunked, almost no one in the field believes that anymore. Whats been proven so far is they actually understand your questions and their responses. Its also proven that they have some level of reasoning capabilities.

I highly recommend using it. Think of it as a Google replacement. Every engineer out there uses Google. Instead of spending hours on Google, you can spend a minute or two doing something new with the help of an LLM. They can be wrong, which is why they are better used in the hands of Senior Engineers.

Nah, their text classification is better then their text generation.

Just let it do something novel instead of something typical stack overflow.

Eg. Nest, a c# library for elastic search, is something it has consistent troubles with because it's not with "and" or "or", but should, must and filter.

But yeah, you won't get into those cases as a junior or doing typical stuff it has been trained on :)
