Only the Tech Journalists think chatGPT works well. They write up articles about how it did this or that.

Then I go to it and ask it to solve some simple thing like build a tabbed UI using Bootstrap and it produces an answer and code that is 100% complete rubbish.

If you were a Tech Journalist you would see the code and think, "Oh, wow, look at that."
But if you actually attempt to use the code you learn that :
1. it used a non-existent version of bootstrap -- it literally creates a link to a bootstrap version that doesn't exist.
2. You tell it that the version doesn't exist and chatbot says, "Oh, I'll fix that" and it produces more code.
3. you try the code and it doesn't even render in the browser.
Total 100% garbage. But, it looks good in an article that Tech Journalist writes up.
