We all know that trying to get non-pozzed responses to anything involving hot button political/social topics from Big Tech trained AI models is a fool's errand, but I'm wondering if anyone has found them to be of any use when it comes to programming. Despite what a number of my professors say, some of whom are definitely not diversity hires, I haven't found them to be of any use. Maybe it's because I'm only asking hard or niche questions when I can't find the answer elsewhere, but I haven't gotten any help from the bots in my programming tasks. The last time I tried it invented modules to a package out of thin air. Had those modules actually existed I wouldn't have needed to ask the question to begin with. From what I've seen the most it can do is help pajeets cheat in their programming 101 classes. Has anyone here had a different experience?

I've been using https://deepai.org/chat a lot at work, where I can't access my own models. It's saved my time writing templates for SQL, Python, and Powershell scripts. It's good for tight, well defined tasks. Like you said if you ask it something obscure or elaborate, it starts making things up.
The most common tasks I give it are reformatting SQL queries, rearranging new queries around the same data, or transposing column output. Basically it's an advanced macro tool.
Yeah, that's what I've been using. There's no way I'm making an account and allowing Big Tech pedos to monitor what I'm doing, especially considering the awful shit I say to that bot lol.
