Ask HN: What do you use ChatGPT for and why doesn't it work for me?
I’ve been trying to use ChatGPT more (gpt-4) but it’s not working for me to the point where even with the site open, I would instinctively search something up on Google(DuckDuckGo) instead and/or read docs or sometimes even just gd into the library and read source code/comments there. It gives me mostly correct but slightly wrong responses 99% of the time and it takes longer to debug/verify than if I just did it myself from just figuring out.
I’ve was just reading a thread about how helpful ChatGPT has been for everyone and I’m wondering if I’m just living in a different world.
My recent projects:
- Extracting web-assembly & obfuscated JavaScript from a web app and making it compatible with NodeJS and then refactoring it to get rid of web workers and use async.
- Writing bindings for a C library for Java and using it to as a structure coordinate locator via the seed (minecraft) (main pain point was with maven and gradle)
- Writing an email client with fyne in Golang to make my email more like a chat app
Sure they’re a bit niche but still feels like something OpenAI should have training data for.
