In the mean time, I'm using chat gpt at work every day now and I'm able to work much faster because of it.

To me it's next generation search engine. For tech queries it's correct a lot.

Once it stops giving non-existent powershell commands, I'll give it another go, but for now it has wasted enough of my time.

or non-existent switches for linux cli commands

The worst part is how eager it is to give you a non-existent switch or cli option. Like if it gives you some multi-line solution, all you have to do is say something like "are you sure there's not an option where I can do this in one line?" And it'll be like, "oh yeah you're totally right, you can just use this non-existent thing that totally won't work! Sorry about the confusion!"

Pretty much every tech question I ask it it just refers the answer to the "Your IT Administrator" which isn't helpful.

[–] ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately that hasn't been my experience, but I'm only using it to find answers for things a couple ddg queries won't solve because traditional search engines are so much faster

Yeah I think it depends so much on context. For my tech queries it's usually spot on.

I'm finding it useful for detecting / correcting really simple mistakes, syntax errors and stuff like that.

But I'm finding it mostly useless for anything more complicated.
