Help: ChatGPT

Synopsis:

ChatGPT is an AI assistant, useful for code development. It is effective for:

• Fiinding references and other help for special language syntax that may not be well documented.
• Listing commands and options for Windows Terminal, PowerShell terminal, and project managers for Rust (Cargo) and C# (dotnet CLI).
• Debugging small JavaScript functions.
• Creating JavaScript event handlers.
• Writing Regular Expressions based on informal text descriptions,

It is not, at this time (November 2024), very effective for:

• Laying out code structure except in small very specific scenarios.
• Consistently delivering trustworthy answers. It will occasionally confidently assert as true things that are demonstrably false.
• Writing flexible code. It often generates code that works only for the exact prompt specification when minor modification would make the code more broadly useful.
• Some of its generated code has missing dependencies so will not compile as-is.

I expect that ChatGPT might be useful for generating test cases for supplied code. I have not investigated this yet. None of the codes or texts in this site have been generated by ChatGPT or other AI assistents. I have used ChatGPT frequently for exploring code syntax and shell commands.
