I couldn't even get ChatGPT to let me download code it claimed to program for me. It kept saying the files were ready but refused to let me access or download anything. It was the most basic use case and it totally bombed. I gave up on ChatGPT right then and there.

It's amazing how different people have wildly varying experiences with the same product.

It's because comparing their "ChatGPT" experience with your "ChatGPT" experience doesn't tell anyone anything. Unless people start saying what models they're using and prompts, the discussions back and forth about what platform is the best provides zero information to anyone.

It’s the equivalent of the user that points at their workstation tower and exclaims that the “hard drive is broken!”

Use the right words, get the right response.

Ah… ahhh… I get now why they get such bad results from AI models.

Did you wait a while before downloading? The links it provides for temporary projects have a surprisingly brief window where you can download them. I've had similar experience when even waiting 1 minute to download the file.

Since LLMs are non deterministic it's not that amazing. You could ask it the same question as me and we could both get very different conversations and experiences

The same thing happens to me in Claude occasionally. I have to tell it "Generate a tar.gz archive for me to download".
