The codebase I'm working on would give chatGpt an aneurysm. I'm actually a ghost.

Lmao I asked chatgpt to restructure a POST API to a bash file and it started writing fan fiction

Except you have to tell your microwave that the ingredients it used don’t actually exist.

It's a pretty good analogy for other reasons too. You may be able to make some tasty stuff in a microwave and it's brilliant for a bunch of uses... but you wouldn't call yourself a chef, or serve it to anyone who expected "gourmet shit".

More like microwaving eggs with how buggy (and badly commented) chatGPT's code is.

error function not defined init() But both the manual and ChatGPT are using it…

So then copilot is just every modern large-scale kitchen that strategically uses both. Yeah, that adds up.
