ChatGPT was never made for programming and is horrible at generating code. It is nice for a peer-programming kinda setup tho, because it can quickly point you towards tools, libraries, APIs etc. to use

It generated a custom needs GUI OCR tool in Qt5. I don't know a single bit of Qt5 and went from zero to working tool in half an hour.

The tool takes a screenshot, lets me select an area on the screen, OCRs it and displays the text in a window.

If ChatGPT isn't made for programming then I'm looking forward for a product that is.
