    What do you do when ChatGPT just makes shit up or answers incorrectly to yes or no questions, you’d have no way of knowing it was wrong

      ChatGPT is most useful when you may not know the right answer, but you know a wrong answer when you see one. It’s very useful for technical issues. Much quicker for troubleshooting than searching page after page for a solution.

            Yeah that makes sense. The success rate might fall off a cliff in more complex software projects. E.g. applications that require designs beyond 10 UML boxes with hundreds of thousands of lines, especially not written in JS/Python.

      Not the other commenter:

      I usually have an idea about the thing I’m asking, and if not then I’ll look up the topics mentioned after some guided brainstorming

      I’ve also found that asking the same question again, after resetting the chat, can give you an idea of what is happening
