ChatGPT would have been so much useful and trustworthy if it is able to accept that it doesn't know an answer. (programming.dev)

Small rant : Basically, the title. Instead of answering every question, if it instead said it doesn't know the answer, it would have been trustworthy.

The code does look like code that counts Rs. The training data probably included tons of code that “counts character X in string Y”, so ChatGPT “knows” what code that counts characters in a string looks like. It similarly “knows” what a string looks like in the language, and what an application entry point looks like, etc. I’m not so familiar with C# that I’d know if it compiles or not. ChatGPT doesn’t either, but it has the advantage of having seen a whole freaking lot of C# code before.
