ChatGPT sucks so much for coding tasks and it's laughable.
Like, it's come to a point where it's unusable for me. At all.
It's like a toddler, anything you tell it, it agrees. Then spits out non-existent functions.
The thing actually slows me down.
And yes, I've tried Claude AI and it's slightly better but in no way, shape or form did it improve my productivity.

Those who claim it made them n times faster were never working on complex tasks to begin with.

All AI for code is hot garbage, the only one I’ve had any kind of success with is Codeium, but it doesn’t like large files in the codebase. It’s “ok” for autocomplete, the chat needs some serious prompt engineering to get anything back of use.

Anyone that’s still pushing the AI will take our jobs BS, probably shouldn’t be a dev anyway.

Try llama3.1?

ChatGPT 4o is quite good. It's paid, but I have a luxury of someone else paying for it :)

I'm very amazed how good it is. It fails many times for brainfuck related stuff tho.

Things I do with ChatGPT:
- let generate Readme.md on base of makefile (See attachment). That's very amazing
- generating enum to string code by just pasting the enums

I have asked it stuffs about how to use MS Graph APIs. All its answers are about non existent functions and end points. Dealing with it is harder than dealing with a junior developer.

No, the robot isn’t thinking. It’s just using complex statistics to predict the next word of the sentence.

Spend more time arguing with the AI than getting anything done.

Same here. Using paid Perplexity and You search engines. I have to spell out in excruciating details what I want, and gives me opposite things. After that, I reply in curses. 🤣 😅

I post a link to some lib docs and tell it to analyze it and give me setup guide. Sometimes works like a charm, sometimes replies with deprecated code. 😬

One thing though, I learned to appreciate and read docs because of it. 📖

I had a meeting where some dude in the company I work at presented an AI trained on our code base. It is supposed to get progressively better over time. So far so good I guess.

Then, he tried to convince management he would get a 2000% productivity gain for writing drivers and tests. Yeah right! And when I code after downing a 6 pack, I make Linus Torvald proud.

To be fair, it's kinda useful for smart autocompletion, boosting l productivity a bit, but it screws up 70% of the time anyways lol.

All in all, it's fairly trash.
