You can ask it for source now with browser integration. Previously the browser extension was a separate model with gpt3.5 which was pretty bad, now it’s just integrated into gp4. It works a million times better.

If it spits out the wrong syntax my compiler will tell me immediately.

While I never had it happen, it could give you wrong command line switches that do damage. For example, when I asked how I could list volumes attached to an AWS instance, it gave me a “modify-volume” command instead of “describe-volume” command. Thankfully, I caught that before I cut and paste it.

Oh yes. With that sort of thing better double check each time.

It’s bad enough at programming that you can often see the problems without the help of the compiler
Last thing I asked it for, after the fourth draft still had undeclared variables and called imaginary libraries (which if they existed would be great)
It was good for coming up with a nice structure for a small program
