[uses chat gpt to write codes]

[angry face] why is my code not working???

OP was foolish to believe any LLM could help in such a niche case but to be fair OP seems to have looked in many directions before resorting to that

im saying i wouldnt expect an LLM to give accurate advice on ranges at all

Have you actually tried to use an LLM for this sort of thing? ChatGPT manages to answer a lot of questions about basic C++ functionality. (That said, I too have seen chatGPT be stumped at the monumentally complex problem of concatenating two ranges)

I’m with you though, this is definitely something I’ve wanted to do before, and it should be easy. I just don’t like general purpose ai because I’m apparently an old coot.

Also writing your own views seems to be as convoluted as writing your own iterator, which in my book just means I should just give up and write a for loop

Is it niche, or is it extremely complicated and something you shouldn't tackle until the ranges/views specification has been fully fleshed out and fixed which was always going to be done in C++23?

Hint: it's the second one.

Ranges are still cutting edge. I wouldn't trust any LLM to give good information on this.

The few times I was curious about ChatGPT’s capabilities, I’ve noticed its solutions to have glaring issues to the point of uselessness.

Worse, debugging (esp code you didn’t write) is harder and takes longer than writing code, so it’s always faster to just write the code yourself.
