Absolutely true. But the problem is, there are people trying to leverage it as if it really DID understand these things.
I see a LOT of things that indicate this shortcoming is being ignored in order to leverage AI to do something “great”.
When it boils down to it, who gets to decide what is “great”?
It used to take me the better part of a week to write some code, but now, if I write my questions out clearly, ChatGPT can produce the code I need in seconds. I still have to test it carefully, but it borders on miraculous how much time and effort it has saved me.
