ChatGPT: The Slickest Con Artist of All Time

Perhaps you and the poster are approaching your evaluations from different points of view. I've found that if I set out to break ChatGPT I can very easily do it. If my goal is to look for mistakes or find a failure case it's almost trivial to do so.

At the same time if I'm looking for success I normally find it.

Essentially if you work cooperatively with the tool then you'll find it useful, if you are antagonistic towards it you can also have success in breaking it.

I asked it to write some simple code do do a task. It confidently told me to use a library and use some functions in it.

Couldn’t get it to work. Couldn’t get any examples out of google of it being sued that way. Eventually looked through the code of the library and found that while some functions worked int he way chatgpt was trying, the functions it had selected didn’t work, didn’t support those arguments, and never had.
