   Spent some hours yesterday trying to debug small python-script, that was supposed to run on a Raspberry Pi together with somebody else (not dayjob).

   The person was stubborn and decided to trust and ask ChatGPT constantly about all the issues, and it just spew out all sorts of nonsense constantly - while all the correct solutions was a web-search away.

   I dont know what happened with people after they got exposed to chatgpt, but some of them blindly trust everything that it print out for some reason.

   And it turns out, that they have followed chatGPTs advice and just removed some system components in a previous session,,,

   And that's why everything on that poor pi was broken

     @selea Heh, no shit. I always do a facepalm when people ask an LLM which spews some crap instead of going to the project page and looking at the docs/examples. The LLM answer is usually just a mangled version of the documentation with some of the most insane answers from stack overflow mixed in.

     @selea I've used ChatGPT once or twice like that and you need to be alert while doing it, to see through all the bullshit that it provides.

     Agreed.
     You need to know atleast the "advanced-basics" in a subject before you can actually ask it stuff. I notice way to many small errors all over

     @selea Maybe ChatGPT will actually create more jobs...

     Seriously though, I was explaining something based on my 15 years of experience, and one guy told me "that's not what ChatGPT is telling me but ok" and I almost lost it.

     @joakimfors @selea sometimes I use it for smaller questions. It's a bit like Websearch 2.0 but without all the noise of people word fighting in forums. But I don't trust the answers but it can give a direction/starting point at least. I have used Perplexity a few times during js13k to rewrite a messy, but working, loop into a bit more structure. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
