Meh. Roughly 90% of what I know about baking is from chatgpt. There just wasn't a comparable resource. "Oh God the dough is too dry", "can I sub in this fat for this fat and if so how?", "if I change the bath do I have to change the score method?".

It is like I have a professional baker I can just talk to whenever. I am sure as I get better at baking I will exceed it's ability to help but I can't deny that what I have accomplished now I could not have in the same timeframe without it.

So? Are you saying you disagree with the premise of the article because chatgpt taught you how to bake? Professional tech work isn't really relatable to baking at home.

I believe the central premise was

Not professional tech work. Really not sure what you want from me. I found it a useful tool and I am sorry it didn't work out for you or your application.

You're splitting hairs here I think it's fair to make the statement that tech industry workers perform professional tech work. I mean it's cool that you learned to bake but what makes you think this means you know what the skill requirements are for tech workers and how well chatgpt can cover for gaps in those skills? Your dismissive 'meh' says to me 'yea but I learned how to bake with chatgpt so I disagree with this statement'.

Ok fine you win. It is completely useless. Please go win arguments elsewhere.
