Trying to use GPT3.5 when learning basic JavaScript and it’s often wrong. It keep going back on what it said previously and apologizes for the mistake. Does GPT4 have this problem?

learning to code with p5js and gpt is driving me crazy. so. many. mistakes. i went back to where I started i.e. YouTube or asking way simpler questions.

I've tried really long prompts to get very specific outputs: complex fill-in-the-blank kind of texts. I tell it exactly what to do, what not to do, what output I expect, what to replace placeholders with, etc. Sometimes it does exactly what I ask. Other times something completely different. With the exact same prompt.

I try to use no GPT when I'm learning. But when exploiting (building things with knowledge I already have), I use GPT like there's no tomorrow. Works well for me.

Exactly. Recently I’ve tried to create some CSS styles for buttons and it’s been giving me the things I didn’t want to. I guess it’s not the best way to learn something from scratch but sometimes it’s really much faster then Google

The bigger issue for me is that it uses old practices. So when there's a better way to do something because the language supports it, it doesn't help you. It adds legacy code by default. It will be interesting to see how code bases evolve over time with it

i’ve found it to be less helpful for complex tasks. e.g. i tried to have it write a function that would loop over the WC api to get all users on the protocol, and it screwed it up multiple times. there is probably some level of context i could give it where it would work, but it was much faster to just do it myself.
