I rather my rubber duck didn't tell me lies though. I really hate it when I'm given incorrect information - a waste of my time.

GPT4 has been outright wrong for me only a handful of times. I know this because I typically have an academic paper for the topic I'm working through next to me and knowledgable friends who I discuss things with as well. I'm rarely using GPT4 for things like syntax or APIs which can be easily looked up elsewhere. I also rarely ask it to write code.

I know mileage may vary, but I just haven't had this often quoted (but I suspect actually less first hand experienced) situation when it comes to development.

Does it bother you when your colleagues are wrong as well?

I hate it when I'm wrong as well. Doesn't matter the source.

Bad information is worse than no information.

My colleagues usually let me know when they're not sure about something, and that they might be wrong.
