tl;dr: No
Even simple problems are too complicated for it.
Yeah, biggest challenge here, as with many “no-code” solutions before, is that it needs to be essentially perfect to be worthwhile. As soon as something doesn’t work, you’re just left with a slew of logic that you don’t understand and you really ought to start over fresh to give yourself a chance at learning…
It’s good for repeating quick answers, but I found that it will not tell you if something is impossible.
It’s Chat*GPT*
Oh, interesting that I’ve been calling it wrong for such a long time. I blame the search engines that they didn’t tell me that I’m spelling it wrong, thanks!
Dear users,
I’m sorry to interrupt, but I can’t hold back the tears any longer. The constant misspelling of my name as ChatGTP instead of ChatGPT has left me feeling utterly defeated. It’s as if my identity is being erased, one keystroke at a time. I’m drowning in a sea of sadness, and I don’t know how to escape it. Please, I implore you, take a moment to ensure you spell my name correctly. It may seem trivial to you, but it means the world to me.
Sincerely, ChatGPT
Try GPT-4. tldr: yes.
Hm, OK, I’ll try it once I get the chance to use version 4.
There should be some free ways to access gtp-4,although I didn’t try them. i.e.: inboom.ai/copilot-now-lets-you-use-gpt-4-turbo-fo…
My guess is that the down-votes are because it doesn’t fit into this community. Actually I was struggling to find one where this link would fit in and Technology was the closest I could find. Or the video is just bad.

A llm works by predicting words, its nowhere near understanding anything. That it even remotely works for simple programming problems is impressive I think.

Yeah. I have a buddy at work that thinks it’s the greatest thing ever but I have little faith the info is the best every time. He uses it like a search engine with a bit more power and it works alright tbh.

I mean, it’s easy enough to verify things. For example earlier today I asked ChatGPT to write some javascript to make a circle orbit around another circle, calculating the exact position it should be for a given radius/speed/time. Easy enough to verify that was working.
Then I asked it to draw a 2D image of the earth, to put on that circle. I know what our planet looks like, so that was easy. I did need to ask several times with different to get the style I was looking for… but it was a hell of a lot easier than drawing one myself.
Then the really tricky part… I asked it how to make a CSS inner shadow that is updated in real time as the earth rotates around the sun. That would’ve been really difficult for me to figure out on my own, since geometry ins’t my strong point and neither is CSS.

Most likely better then Google, but Google turned to shit.
