It depends. Do you ask it properly, or do you expect the proper thing from it? Using Google is a skill, just like using AIs.

Btw, GPT-4 gives me way better answers than ChatGPT. Obviously, it still needs supervision, just like Google/StackOverflow/Reddit answers. I don’t expect that supervision won’t be needed in the near future, and of course the answers still need to be adapted for the exact context.



> Do you ask it properly

Maybe not! But how would I gauge such a thing? I try to be very specific with my wording. And I’m very wary of including keywords that might have it land in a category that I don’t want it to land in. Clearly my strategy isn’t working though. Is there a resource for writing good ChatGPT prompts related to programming?

> GPT-4 gives me way better answers than ChatGPT

I might need to try that, then. I’ve only used ChatGPT so far.
