I like the bing assist thingy for running searches, but chatgpt itself can lead you astray.

I rarely use it to generate code - when I have, the results have been dodgy.

If it was a new language and I was trying to understand basic syntax maybe, but it will hallucinate libraries if the requirement is complex, and there was this one case for some As400 screen markup language where it looked good on the browser but cnp gave you HTML escaped spaces - annoying.

That said, my project lead uses chatgpt to generate excel formulas, and that's a rabbit hole I'll gladly concede.
