          Jeez dude calm down. I was interested in your opinion, not this angry sprawl of bullshit.

          It’s a pretty useful tool for certain subjects. Nobody should take it as an ‘it’ll do the work for me’, but for a lot of subject matter it works better and more consistently than a search engine.

          And yeah, it is a mimic machine. And if you want something that mimics a huge amount of information that is on the internet without you having to search through tonnes of pages, this is really really useful.

              Not really. Was just looking for a calm answer on why you don’t like the thing. It’s a tool, I’m on board that you’re allowed not to like it. There may be valid reasons I shouldn’t use it. You seem to have mentioned only things that are useful about it, for me.

              Sure I can be an idiot, who cares? The idiot with the bow and arrow is the one eating that night.

          I use it for debugging all the time and while it making mistakes is not uncommon it’s still way better than trying to manually search through spotty documentation.

          It’s also really great at doing basic automation tasks. Sometimes I’d write up throw away scripts to process some data, but with its code interpreter it can write those for me and for simple tasks I don’t even need to check what it wrote since it’s obvious when it did it correctly.

      Perhaps you just don’t have a use for it?

      It doesn’t do the thinking for me but man it’s a time saver for busy work.

      It turns a lot of my work into “editing” rather than writing and then editing.

      It’s very good for teachers to differentiate materials for students with a variety of reading levels.

          I don’t have to trust it though? I just told you I revise and edit.

          It doesn’t do my job for me, I still have to understand how to do the work properly. But I can use it to save time and then revise, check for errors, etc.

          You’re basically arguing that spell check is useless because it’s wrong sometimes. It’s just a tool.

          Clearly the people downvoting you don’t understand that it’s a glorified bullshit generator haha.

      Why do people praising a thing you’re saying is useless sound like someone listing it’s good points in an advert? Gee tough question, could it be that they’re essentially the same thing and the latter is explicitly designed to look like the former?

      Of course if you’re going to dismiss something entirely then people who benefit from using it are going to give their opinion, that’s what this is - a place to give opinions and talk about stuff.

      How else would anyone answer your question? You suggest that it has no use, people who use it regularly are of course going to point out the uses it has. And yes many aren’t going to bother they’re going to use the button that essentially says ‘this is balderdash I don’t agree’

      I have found many things ai is brilliant at, as a coding assistant it really is a game changer and within five years you’ll be used to talking to your PC like they do in Star Trek and having it do all sorts of reality useful things that there are no options for in software made like we do now.

          Well I use it most days and it’s sped up my coding and documentation writing considerably.

          You’re either too dumb to be able to use it or you’ve not used it because of some weird fear of new things, either way you’re not coming from a place where your opinion has any value on this topic.

              We know, you want to make a ridiculous statement and for everyone pointing out you’re objectively wrong to be ignored.

              It’s the level of thinking of a six year old.

                  You’re literally arguing ‘this has no uses and anyone who says otherwise is a meany’ what is anyone supposed to do but laugh at you?
