I’m not scared of ChatGPT replacing software developers...at least not yet.

I do think many other professions might have concern though - considering it’s passed medical exams and the Bar exam. It’s a wonderful tool for learning. It’s brought me up to speed on several topics lately - all I have to do is ask. Tbh - I find it better than most teachers I’ve had, at least I can keep asking questions without feeling stupid and it won’t get frustrated.

Agree completely. I've been using it to refresh my memory on old languages long forgotten. We have a modernization project to get away from COBOL (I know..I know..) and it's helping some with that. But dang, it has to be watched closely as the AI Hallucinations keep getting in the way.

I noticed you mentioned python. I tried to get it to create code to parse a PDF and it kept using functions that never existed. I fed it the pyPDF library, still a no go. I'll just do it by hand. No biggie... but it was a good test case to see if it can do something pretty easy and it couldn't.
