The codebase I'm working on would give chatGpt an aneurysm. I'm actually a ghost.

Lmao I asked chatgpt to restructure a POST API to a bash file and it started writing fan fiction

I never knew I needed API fanfiction

I'm guessing you're using opencart cuz I've been working with an old codebase for around a year and I would love if any code analysis or intelisense actually worked... on xml files... with php in them... with javascript in php variables... with calls to php inside xml files...

Yo dawg, I heard you like code

Except you have to tell your microwave that the ingredients it used don’t actually exist.

It's a pretty good analogy for other reasons too. You may be able to make some tasty stuff in a microwave and it's brilliant for a bunch of uses... but you wouldn't call yourself a chef, or serve it to anyone who expected "gourmet shit".

Hell yes I would!

I can read docs???

[–] qaz 8 points 1 year ago

But cases assume the docs are updated and actually exist.

error function not defined init() But both the manual and ChatGPT are using it…

More like microwaving eggs with how buggy (and badly commented) chatGPT's code is.

So then copilot is just every modern large-scale kitchen that strategically uses both. Yeah, that adds up.
