    Maybe it’s because I’m only using it as plan B or C (after the documentation has already failed me), but I have never gotten any usable code out of chatGPT.

    And yet co-pilot is able to finish my code perfectly after I type the first few characters… even though they’re the same model.

      ChatGPT is amazing for describing what you want, getting a reasonable output, and then rewriting nearly the whole thing to fit your needs. It’s a faster (shittier) stack overflow.

        I normally have it output toy examples of the syntax I don’t want to bother learning and then remix that into what I need. IMO it’s better than stackoverflow because stackoverflow code is more likely to be not really what you were searching for or not actually run because the author didn’t bother testing it and there’s a typo or something.
