did you ever get a a useful answer from ChatGPT? I never did.

If you ask chatGPT a question which is in any way niche, it will catastrophically fuck up the answer or give you the "As an AI language model" scold

chatgpt is utterly horrible at Minecraft commands, it just throws out pseudocode lol

My experience too. The few times I've been stuck and decided to try chatgpt, it's been completely unhelpful, at best suggesting basic things that I checked within the first 5 minutes of troubleshooting.

That was the best case. Worst case it'd sprout some plausible looking nonsense that took time to check and dismiss.

It takes more time to engineer prompts than to solve the actual problem.

Only for well known stuff. If I can't find anything useful on the Internet, ChatGPT will start talking bullshit. Sometimes hard to catch but most of the time there's a reason why I still don't understand: it was utter BS.

I would say yes, mostly when I'm using it to create image ideas for my website about immagini buongiorno nuove 2024 gratis. I'm not sure if it's still effective with other tasks.
