ChatGPT has a style over substance trick that seems to dupe people into thinking it’s smart, researchers found::Developers often prefer ChatGPT’s responses about code to those submitted by humans, despite the bot frequently being wrong, researchers found.

Ya it’s great for exploring options. Anything that’s raw textual is good enough to give you a general idea.

Nah, it’s about a 50/50 if it gets it right the first time and even then the style is never to my liking
