    I literally cannot comprehend coding with ChatGPT- How can I expect something to work if I don’t understand it, and how can I understand it if I don’t code and debug it myself? How can you expect to troubleshoot any issues afterwards if you don’t understand the code? I wouldn’t trust GPT for anything more complex than Hello World.

      Often the code is self explanitory. I understand the code very often, but I still couldn’t write it correctly from scratch. You never feel like that?

      This is how code examples in books works too. You get some code to look at and try to understand it. Otherwise it’s like you would ignore code examples while learning programming.

      I haven’t been in web development in over 20 years; thanks to ChatGPT, I was able to get up-to-speed and start building websites again, when in the past I would have never been able to do so.

      GPT is a powerful tool that can allow anyone to do anything if they’re willing to put in the effort. We should be praising it, not making fun of it. It’s as revolutionary as the internet itself.

      I use it to give me prototypes for ansible because Ansible is junk. Then I build my stuff from the mishmash and have GPT check it. Cuts a lot of time down that I’d rather be doing any-bloody-thing else with.
