Your comment is a great example of how intelligent humans hallucinate!

Gpt-4 often handles errors well. The generated code is easy to review if you understand what you asked for (if it generates tests and examples too-which it can). Etc

People have different experiences with any given thing. You might find your TV remote intuitive and easy to us. Your grandparents might find it overwhelmingly difficult. Which is true?
Yeah, sorry for the snark. I was mostly referring to how the comment I replied to said they hadn’t actually used GPT for coding, but had lots of ideas about its limitations etc.
If you read closely I am not talking about the limitations of GPT, but about the limitations of the developer having to fix code of others (GPT essentially being another developer). I guess it depends on the complexity of the problem. A lot of stuff is very easy to review and for me other stuff needs more time to understand than it did to write.
