    Every time I have asked ChatGPT to code something it seems to lose the thread halfway through and starts giving nonsensical code. I asked it to do something simple in HP41C calculator code and it invented functions out of whole cloth.

      I asked it for something in Powershell and it did the same thing. I asked how it came up with that function and it said it doesn’t exist but if it did that’s how it would work.

      When it starts going off the rails like that I also ask it to “check its work when its done”, and it seems to extend the amount of usable time before it loses the plot and suggests i use VBA or something.
