    Fucking love your example dude.

    I’ve found ChatGPT3 OK for low level stuff, but I stopped using it pretty quickly once I went to trying to get it to help build intermediate stuff.

    If its making errors in simple script design, it can’t handle more.

    It is fab for the basics, but I wouldn’t truste it for learning anything else more complex for exactly the reasons you said.

    Be liable to write my own backdoors that way hahah

      Thanks! Lot of people don’t seem to realize that GPT doesn’t actually have any idea what words mean. It just outputs stuff based on how likely it is to show up after the previous stuff. This results in very interesting behavior but there’s nothing conceptually “there”, there’s no thinking and so, no conversation to be had.
