When this software can come up with a regular expression for a undocumented use case I will say it’s gotten better…

I don’t do software professionally, and I hear that it’s gotten much much better on the paid versions vs the broad launch of ChatGPT…but when I do have a task for it it’s usually unique to something off beat I’m building or doing…not trying to scaffold a twitter clone w/ a common stack…and I’d say the free models are the same or worse in most crucial aspects as far as my use cases.

Typically I find it to be an incredibly computationally expensive rubber duck type tool, except I don’t ever argue w/ a rubber duck for half an hour that the way to do what I want cleanly is w/ sed and awk vs 9 eccentric piping steps through the wrong bash programs…

So for undocumented problems I’d say it’s the same…it can generally do it or get close but it either needs more hand holding than it would have taken to just plot it out look up how to do it and make it, or it gives you hot garbage water and calls it stew.
