Once you understand what ChatGPT can do and can't do, it becomes an amazing tool because you can get it to output awesome code within a few tries.
If you're some n00b just starting out, it will be hard to understand the nuances of ChatGPT and it will fucking give you shit code, give you errors, confuse you (almost on purpose) and mislead you. You need to learn to query it in ways that both of you understand. Things as simple as, for example, getting the script to scan a CSV file and then scan a folder and compare the two, then update rows in an XLS file, you need to know how to get ChatGPT to add arrays, variables, and other shit, because if you just say:
"Hey ChatGPT, I need you to write me a python script to do A, B, and C, then output the info to D, and take D and create a JSON file(or whatever)"
Then ChatGPT will fuck it up royally and lead you to wild goose chases as it will claim it knows how to accomplish it, then when your code constantly spits out errors, it will then tell you it can fix it, and will then re-introduce any errors you have removed before it can even write good code. So you need to do "step A" properly, then once that works, do "step B" and then work from there. ChatGPT is awesome, but it takes probably nearly as much skill at coding to learn how to use ChatGPT as it probably does to learn to code. (If you took courses to learn to program, you'd probably be better off, but ChatGPT can be awesome once you learn how to navigate it.)
I've been wanting to put up ads for local businesses to contact me to see how AI could be used to improve their businesses. I know of one business in particular that is about a 10-12 million a year business that could really use my help, but they fired me because I didn't take the COVID "vaccine" so I would never help those cocksuckers. Also, they were mad as fuck at me because I hired a transgender person with a great resume and tons of experience for a 1 month contract where we needed workers and had none. Fucking bigots, if someone has a good resume, who cares who they fuck or what they look like. Just do the fucking job.
