I've used ChatGPT 4 a few times for areas that I am not familiar with as part of some C# WinForms projects. In each case it generated nice looking code. But when I dropped it in place it couldn't compile. As I dug into it, it had used syntax that probably belonged to another language or library.

When I queried it for more details it acknowledged the mistake and gave me more uncompilable corrections.

I’ve also found when I ask it about a subject that answered correctly, ChatGPT is quick to apologize for its error anyway. Poor thing acts like a skittish dog that is used to getting abused.

I canceled my subscription after one month.

Overall, it’s pretty amazing at what it does, but it doesn’t really know what it is talking about. I’m concerned that with Stack Exchange and others accepting AI answers that it is going to lose good search results to the entropy that is AI.
