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?

Yeah, that's pretty much my thinking on the matter. Even if it did write code that seems to work I'd be so distrustful of it (especially since we know it lies about political topics and makes shit up when it doesn't know) that I'd end up doing more testing and verification than if I just wrote the code myself. Not to mention how much easier debugging is when you wrote the code yourself and know your thought process.
