    I actually have used it to debug code before. Not an entire program (yet) but it’s great for snippets where you’re just missing a semicolon or bracket, or need advice on how to properly call a weird function. It also writes small things like batch files incredibly well. Just like with regular language, it’s great for a few paragraphs, then begins to drift as it struggles to parse longer conversations. So if you only need it for a few “paragraphs” of code, it’s great.

      I also like to give AI my code and just ask to rewrite it, implementing a cleaner solution and upholding best practices. Most times, there are things that are really an improvement!

        Yup. Every time I feed it my code, I find some new trick or method I hadn’t thought of before. Being self-taught, it really is a remarkable tool for seeing what efficient code looks like.
