I’m a bit on the fence on this one. I’ve seen ChatGPT inventing things too many times to trust it with anything more than rewriting and improving texts…

ChatGPT 4. It wasn’t code, but it got me nervous xD

I like that line of thinking. If you can spot where chatgpt4 goes wrong then you’d be putting yourself ahead of the curve. I have seen absolutely terrible paid tutors. I have had some very questionable content taught directly from a self-claimed Java expert who spent half the lectures talking about his contracts and expertise, who then proceeded to teach Java with Vi.

Like my original post states, it is no perfect solution. But chatgpt4 is very good value for what it has to offer. It’s not perfect but its interactive mode is instantaneous. Even universities won’t give your class of 100+ the same value despite offering much less interactivity. Granted, what we pay for there is that piece of paper and most learning is still self-driven.

Don’t trust it, but test what it gives you. Often, if it doesn’t work you can just tell ChatGPT why it doesn’t work and it will fix the mistake.

Posting Etiquette

  1. Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.

  2. Provide everything up front. Don’t make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.

  3. Be present for follow up questions. Don’t ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.

  4. Ask about the problem you’re trying to solve. Don’t focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/
