I remember one time a guy was trying to add SDL (a programming library) to Visual Studio (code editor and IDE), and said that it wouldn't link to a project no matter what he's done. You can google how to do this in five minutes, with video tutorials and everything, it's like a basic thing every programmer does in that IDE. Like 5 question threads later, turns out he was "following all ChatGPT steps" and they were all complete nonsense, just random functions of Visual Studio done with the filenames of SDL.
lmfao. Why haven't most people figured out yet that chatgpt lies more often than not?
No, because their sales team and ceo are spending millions so that people don't find that out.
Its not even suppost to tell the truith, we warped it into doing so. Why AI lies
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=w65p_IIp6JY
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Might be right but in my experience a lack of skill in conversing with AI is a much greater factor in determining it's usefulness. It's almost always going to defer to the user. It's like when someone is dealing with tech support and they tell them to try turning it off and on again. If that really is the solution, and the user insists that it is not, CGPT is going to make something up just to appease the user's request.
Users have to know that CGPT isn't magic. How they behave affects how it behaves. Kind of like talking to actual people, which is what it's essentially trying to simulate.
