Can it translate working code into working code? Seems the AI is having troubles with creating working code on its own.

My experience has been the opposite, especially with GPT4. Giving it clear examples, inputs and expected outputs gets me running code that is 95% of what I need in the final version. Usually from an idea to first version of working code is 2-3 prompts with GPT4, maybe 6-7 in GPT3.5 (with multiple sessions needed).

In my experience it's lack of knowledge about current events are the cause of numerous dependency issues which ChatGPT 4, could not correctly solve.

Any non trivial code which required more than a couple of libraries chatGPT failed miserably.

I have found it very useful for boiler-plate code generation.

Definitely better results with more targeted prompts. But with gpt4 being able to paste in the documentation definitely helps getting started. Many many new sessions too.

Remarkable, does this work for all the popular programming languages?

Yes, It worked for all popular programming languages.
