I've used it a tiny bit, but I did notice you still need to have a decent understanding on not just the topic, but to also help guide the AI system to get the correct result. I've only used the free version of GPT, which I believe is 3.0 or 3.5. I've heard GPT-4 is at a much higher level already, but being a $20/month fee, I haven't dabbled in it.
Save your money. Only 3.5 can code, really, and it does a really poor job. I do think that if they can get recursive versions looking at each other's code then maybe they could do something but right now, the amount of quality control you have to do on it come to the amount of redo and just obvious stupid errors is just too much to make it worth it
Agree, and actually it is growing. Just the other night it randomly suggested that it sent code directly to my GitHub grist. It did it twice and then promptly forgot that it could do it and proceeded to act retarded again. They are clearly working on it
I spent a couple of hours trying to get it to generate copy/pastable markdown, as it's doc generation is pretty good, but the formatting of the output is sometimes weird because the responses are formatted as markdown internally.
That's very odd, I wonder why they did that? Maybe version 4 is to fix other issues, and the upcoming 5 will fix some of the coding? Just throwing out a guess.
Which version are you currently testing?

I can only imagine where the tech will be in another year, knowing how rapid it's been growing.

That's really useful.

Why can only 3.5 code? That seems like a step backwards.
GPT4 expressly says it can't code
Bing uses gpt4 and it can code.

yeah think of it as a coding aid, rather than able to code itself
