I wish GPT4 had never happened
Funny thing - I&#x27;ve been using ChatGPT as a programming assistant. My experience with it is that the more knowledgeable I am at the domain, the more useful it is.<p>It often generates code that won&#x27;t compile or won&#x27;t run correctly, but that sort of goes in the correct direction, enough that I can spot the blunders and refine my questions. Quite often I even learn a few new things when using it to explore libraries and frameworks I don&#x27;t know that well but in languages that I am very comfortable with.<p>Now, for example, I am a lousy front end developer. Not really my area of expertise. I can do minor maintenance on an existing code base, but that&#x27;s about it. ChatGPT has been more a hindrance than helpful in that particular domain, because I can&#x27;t easily spot the flaws in its output, and I don&#x27;t know in which directions to properly refine my questions.
