This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If I had a dollar for every time ChatGPT gave me code that worked but didn't do anything I asked it to, I would have $5. Not because its accurate, but because I only had the patience to correct its work 5 times.

ChatGPT is really good at telling me I'm a dumbass and to do it some other way when I ask why my code isn't working. I'll give it credit for that.

After it gave me to implement X in your app, you need to take into account A, B, and C 5 times in a row when I asked it on what steps needed to be taken, I cancelled my sub immediately.

ChatGPT is getting fucking lazy.

every AI is getting bad. I'm using some off-brand (some might say indie) ones, and they're slower dumber and have more payed options by the day.

ChatGPT if not for cheating in school I wouldn't use it at all probly. Phind.com was my go-to favorite, now can't search the web for shit gpt option is payed and it's just dumb. You.com my friend used this, straight ignored my request yesterday.

do other's have the same experience? If yes, follow-up question are they dumbing down AI, and keeping the power to themselves? 2nd follow-up how can I selfhost a good AI and what do I need for it to work?

Boilerplate that I know by heart but can't be giving bothered to type? Sure.

Context specific, unique manipulations? Nah, in going in raw

I can't speak for GPT, but I usually let copilot take a first pass at things, then when I start to tweak them to fix Copilot's mistakes, the AI peer-codes it out with me pretty quick.

I've actually managed to get copilot to offer a valid solution to a problem that was cleaner than my own (though it took a few tries).

Dev AI's work and save time as long as you know what you're doing and aren't trying to lean on the AI to do all the coding.
