Is this article written by AI? It has all sorts of strange errors and repeated words. Like the sentence at the end of this paragraph. I know it is popular to call out everything as AI right now but this article is suspicous.

    There is a wierd amount of generative-learning articles on game/tech Lemmy. I keep seeing these articles from publications that I've never heard of and I get excited because "Oo new people in the space" then halfway through the article I feel duped.

    AI has gotten to the point where it probably wouldn't make these mistakes.

    You've never seen ChatGPT break I assume. It can.

    Never ask it for advice on anything technical. It is confidently incorrect about a LOT of things.

    It's not "great", but it's slightly helpful sometimes.

    You know its weird, here people are downvoting me for agreeing its great. On another post I'm being downvoted for saying its okay. Y'all just don't know and thats okay. If you know what you need and you are just unfamiliar with a library, ChatGPT can explain it fine if your prompt is concise.

    If you have no idea what you are doing and know nothing about programming, its not going to help you. I am currently using it to assist with small tasks using Excel.Interop and it basically spat out a working program for me to tweak. Don't really know what to tell you about that but I can post it to GitHub I guess.

    Its fine with programming so long as you know to take it with a grain of salt and give it detailed prompts. Like for instance, if you don't specify it usually defaults to Row 1 when dealing with ranges, thats fine, because I know what row I need.

    I heard somebody say that it's like a talented intern. Can produce good results, but you have to verify them yourself first before you use them.
