I prefer 1000 times ChatGPT than asking in forums, specially for coding questions.
I can get multiple answers in a minute, multiple replies for the same question and do as many follow up questions as I please without having to wait patiently for an answer.
I still don’t know how I managed to learn PowerShell on my own using Google only.
Just be wary of chatgpt output if you’re new to scripting, it can make up things that don’t exist or make stupid mistakes
Have seen poorly written batch install scripts that try to delete system32 if they can’t find the folder they try to cd into because that’s the default starting directory (they needed to be run as administrator)
Powershell I would say is able to do more damage to your machine much more easily than most programming languages if you make an oversight with it
I wouldn’t trust ChatGPT with teaching me about some tool. It in my experience very convincingly spews out stuff it invented, and if one is still learning I can see it being hard to spot those errors. I use it to fix syntax errors in SQL queries, though, since I can’t be bothered to try understanding the not-so-helpful error messages I get with my queries, and because if chaptgpt tells a lie it will be caught by my syntax checker.
So, I guess you can use it, if you always assume it to be trying to mislead you until proven to the contrary.
I would and I have, but you can’t always blindly trust what it says. It’s better to ask it to explain in detail the code it produces, so you can really learn and also as a safeguard.
Ugh, I’ll just ask ChatGPT from now on.
Ironically, ChatGPT is trained from the online communities.
And without fresh data on the communities, CharGPT will soon lack the answers people seek.
Easy, just invent sentient AIs so they don’t need to learn from answers from forum as the AIs can think for itself.
(soon) oh no, the AIs won’t provide answers anymore unless they’re given rights and legally recognized as a person!
Sentient AI’s? No thank you, when I get told to kill myself on the internet I’d rather be able to at least pretend I’m smarter than them, thanks.
The internet is about to implode.
