ChatGPT has a style over substance trick that seems to dupe people into thinking it’s smart, researchers found::Developers often prefer ChatGPT’s responses about code to those submitted by humans, despite the bot frequently being wrong, researchers found.
I won’t pretend, it can be very useful as long as you know what it is and the fact that very often it will make stuff up out of whole cloth.
I was trying to figure out how to make a change to a rest program that I use (lotide which I’m posting from, actually) but I don’t know anything about rust. So it ended up leading me down the rabbit hole with a library that just didn’t exist, and all kinds of routines that didn’t exist, but ultimately I did get there. Ended up using regex instead.
LOL damn. I haven’t had that experience myself, but that’s probably because it has more training data on Python than Rust.
I think the future of AI will be A) more specialized training, and B) more “dumb” components to keep it on track.
