I’ve actually had pretty good success with ChatGPT when I go in expecting it to hallucinate a significant chunk of what it spits back at me. I like to think of it as a way to help process my own ideas. If I ask questions with at least a base understanding of the topic, I can then take whatever garbage it gives me and go off and find real solutions. The key is to not trust it whole cloth to give you the right answer, but to give you some nuggets that set you on the right path.
I think I’ve basically turned ChatGPT into my rubber duck.
RDLM: Rubber-Ducky Language Model^(TM)
Prompt: you are a duck. I scream at you with slurs like, "Why the fuck is this piece of shit code not working", and "Why the fuck is my breakpoint still not triggering?!". You are to sit there calmly, and simply recall that your existence is to be nothing more than a tool for me to direct my frustrations and stress. You know this is not personal. You know that this is an important job. You know that you only have to respond with one word: "Quack".
that seems like the only good use for chatgpt in programming, though it is an expensive duck
