Comment on Ask HN: Those with success using GPT-4 for programming – what are you doing?

Comments

I have found it completely fucking worthless for anything I have thrown at it.

Computing how to dilute a concentrate into a fruit punch, how to create and render a template in golang, how to parse an int in golang, what makes a chord progression a "lydian" chord progression... it goes on and on.

Ikr? Even with GPTPlus it would still hallucinate things in 90% of cases I’ve thrown at it, so by the time I fully debug its output, I’ve spent about the same if not more time than just figuring it out on my own using good ole Google (or an alternative search engine) and StackOverflow.

And that’s for things I’m fairly competent in, to judge the quality of an answer.
