The person got something useful out of it. First time I've seen one of these systems show any signs of being good for anything.
They've been useful for coding for a long time, since Github Copilot, pre-ChatGPT if memory serves.
Not to me they haven't. I must be asking the wrong questions or asking questions that are too niche. It is why I pretty much ignore all the talk about these so called AI systems.
The AI tools are good for giving you answers to things that have already been answered. They are not able to reason(yet) so an answer that requires filling in missing data are not going to be good. The worse part of questions like that is that the current AIs will give you an answer that looks good but often is 100% wrong. Still if you want a small script to do something that you know can be done but don't want to look it up yourself then they can be great. -- Alvin Starr || land: (647)478-6285 Netvel Inc. || home: (905)513-7688 alvin@netvel.net ||
