Why?
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.
Not really. Was just looking for a calm answer on why you don't like the thing. It's a tool, I'm on board that you're allowed not to like it. There may be valid reasons I shouldn't use it. You seem to have mentioned only things that are useful about it, for me.
Sure I can be an idiot, who cares? The idiot with the bow and arrow is the one eating that night.
Lol alright have a nice day.
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.
I feel sorry for anyone who has to put up with your sorry ass attitude
I bet people love working with you…
