    It’s a gimmicky mimic machine that produces actual nonsense which appears at a glance passable for human generated text. Why? I should be the one asking, fucking why?

      I use it for debugging all the time and while it making mistakes is not uncommon it’s still way better than trying to manually search through spotty documentation.

      It’s also really great at doing basic automation tasks. Sometimes I’d write up throw away scripts to process some data, but with its code interpreter it can write those for me and for simple tasks I don’t even need to check what it wrote since it’s obvious when it did it correctly.

    • Jeez dude calm down. I was interested in your opinion, not this angry sprawl of bullshit.

      It’s a pretty useful tool for certain subjects. Nobody should take it as an ‘it’ll do the work for me’, but for a lot of subject matter it works better and more consistently than a search engine.

      And yeah, it is a mimic machine. And if you want something that mimics a huge amount of information that is on the internet without you having to search through tonnes of pages, this is really really useful.
