    As someone that uses ChatGPT daily for boilerplate code because it’s super helpful…

    I call complete bullshite

    The program here will be “hello world” or something like that.

      Absolutely I can create a code for your app.

      void myApp(void) {
        // add the code for your app here
        return true;
      }
      

      You may need to change the code above to fit your needs. Make sure you replace the comment with the proper code for your app to work.

      It’s great for things like “How do I write this kind of loop in this language” but when I asked it for something more complex like a class or a big-ish function it hallucinates. But it makes for a very fast way to get up to speed in a new language

      OTOH, if you take that hello world program and ask it to compose a themed cocktail menu around it, it’ll cheerfully do that for you.

      I can totally see the use case for boilerplate, but I’m also very very rarely writing new classes from scratch or whatever.

      As always, proof of concept or gtfo
