   I admit that it is extremely annoying when ChatGPT gives you a completely false code snippet it claims will work.

     @Moon I think the obvious next step for them is on-the-fly verification of its suggestion based on a more current index / intelligent lookup of resources, which probably exists on the GPTs platform already if not soon

     @am it's still definitely a time saver and worth it but it's been about 50/50 for me if it gives me a real answer or a fake one. I only ask it questions about libraries that aren't well documented.

     @Moon@shitposter.club it makes a lot of weird assumptions about npm packages for me

     @Moon Wait, you're telling me the ability to sort the good from bad output of a llm is the same as the original human some said would be replaced? Goodness.

     @mia no, it is still faster and better when you figure in arguing with it, it just offends my human sensibility that it will give confident wrong answers

     I think you are going to find very annoying and less than obvious errors that evade basic "it didn't compile/run" testing cropping up later, especially when you're trusting a machine with a subject the operator is entirely unskilled in. I don't doubt that a programmer can benefit from a auto-suggest, but I have no faith in "I argued with a prompt, I don't know why it works" programs.

     @mia I don't ask it to write complex code for me, I ask it how to use libraries without documentation
