minus-square@Lucidlethargylink18•4 months agoIn my experience, ChatGPT has been wrong so many times that it’s wasted more of my time than saved it.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•edit-24 months agoSo much this. I spent probably 2 hours try to get something to work that it said would work before giving up, spending 5 minutes to Google and finding the solution that I could use to get what I wanted done and more. After that I rarely ask it for help.
