As a brand new user of ChatGPT, I have never been so incredibly impressed and rage-inducing frustrated at exactly the same time with any new tech I've ever tried.

I was using it to help create some simple javascript functions and debug some code. It could come up with working functions almost immediately that took a really interesting approach that I wouldn't have thought of. "Boom," I thought, "this is great! Let's keep going!" Then, immediately afterwards, it would provide absolute shit that couldn't and wouldn't work at all. It couldn't remember the very code it just outputted to me on multiple occasions, and when asked to make a few minor changes it constantly spouted brand new very different functions, usually omitting half the functionality it had before. But, when the code was directly typed in by me in a message, every time, it did much better.

Seems with every question like that I had to start from scratch every time, or else it would work from clearly wrong (not even close, usually) newly generated, code. For example, if I asked it to print exactly the same function it printed a moment ago, it would excitedly proclaim, "Of course! Here's the exact same function!" and then print a completely different function.

I spent so much time carefully wording my question to get it to correctly help me debug something that I ended up finding the bug myself, just because I was being so careful in examining my code so I could ask it a question that would give me a relevant answer. So....I guess that's a win? Lol. Then, just for fun, I told ChatGPT that I had found and corrected the bug, and it took responsibility for the fix.

And yet, when it does get it right, it's really quite impressive.

I've seen this done in almost every combination imaginable, and would like to know what the 'correct' way to do this is. I've seen the building marked as 'retail' with a point at the pumps for 'gas station' and a point in the building for 'convenience store', I've seen the building itself marked as one with a point added for the other, I've seen the pumps area marked as the gas station and the building marked as the convenience store, and on and on.

What's the recommended way to do this?

Is this just me or is anyone else having issues where suddenly when clicking on a community or post they are logged out? These seems new as of the 0.18.2 update.

Edit: I found this post where various users on lemmy.world are having what sounds like the same issue.

I accidentally banned someone and now can't figure out how to unban them.

When /u/Poem_for_your_sprog drops his first Lemmy/Kbin poem, we'll know it's all over but the cryin' for Reddit.

I came across this one on userstyles.world and didn't see it referenced here. It's probably the most 'old reddit' looking of all of the one's I've seen so far.
