So? Those mistakes will come up in testing, and you can easily fix them (either yourself, or by asking the AI to do it, whichever is faster).

I've successfully used it to write code for APIs that did not even exist at all a couple years ago when ChatGPT's model was trained. It doesn't need to know the API to generate working code - you just need to tell it what APIs are available as part of your conversation.
