      It’s good at writing sentences. The content of the sentences may or may not be real/true.

        I’m just not impressed with guessing which words to use next. Especially when I have to verify what it produces.

      It’s pretty great at writing short utility scripts and code. And it’s fantastic at explaining errors, warnings, and log file dumps.

      That’s what I use it for.

        Strongly disagree with explaining things, because you don’t know if it’s correct. And you have to validate code it creates, so 🤷‍♂️

        I’ve asked it to produce C for a specific product, and it effectively summarized and reproduced existing example code. Being able to so easily discover a source it used for training revealed the entire trick at once.
