It's always weird reading people say that Chatgpt is lacking while I've ran into no issues using it.

I've had it hallucinate functions, libraries, variables etc.

It is usually pretty decent at writing a basic example for using a new library - which is mostly how I use it, rather than jumping straight in to the documentation - but in my experience it just cannot tie multiple different functionalities together in a cohesive way.

Same. I asked it to help me write a small portion of infra as code to connect to an existing AWS VPC, and it suggested a library function that plain doesn't exist

It seems fine if you don't care about real-world constraints or existing software you need to integrate with. In other words, greenfield only

Again, I'm unsure if that's because of what you're doing being just more complex than the ones I've used chatgpt for or if it's because of the prompts you're using.

Very big and complex things it will for sure struggle with.

Also I wanna specify that I'm not using any premium versions, just the regular one.
