Unfortunately, LLMs are still prone to make facts up, and very persuasively. In fact, most of non-trivial topics I tried have required double-/triple- checking, so it's sometimes not really productive to use chatGPT.

You are correct that I made an error in my previous response.

I apologize for the confusion I may have caused in my previous response

I appreciate you bringing this to my attention.

I apologize, thank you for your attention to detail!



I asked it to explain how to use a certain Vue feature the other day which wasn't working as I hoped. It explained incorrectly, and when I drilled down, it started using React syntax disguised with Vue keywords. I definitely could have tried harder to get it to figure out what was going on, but it kept repeating its mistakes even when I pointed them out explicitly.


I've only been using it for a few days and already find this post amusing. Almost hit a "come on, man, just get it" moment.

Incredible technology, though. Feels like whoever decides not to use it will be at huge disadvantage real soon


Which is exactly why this use-case would be better. "Give me suggestions/ideas, and then I'll take them under consideration"
