I tried ChatGPT 4o to help me reverse engineer some game code with the symbols missing and the results were quite disappointing. To say it had a tendency to hallucinate is an understatement. It didn't have any clue what was going on.

For me, those AI tools are much better at saving me time looking up documentation when doing simple things where it has examples of the exact code pattern I'm looking for in its training set. ChatGPT is great at writing one-off Blender scripts for me to give to artists, for instance.
