    I have used it, yes. It is no god, but holy cow it knows how to program an ESP32 to throw a web surface at people (so both backend and frontend) which I would have never learned to do. It also knows how to code a 2D heat transfer simulation in Python. Or help me find errors and much faster ways in my rotary kiln simulation. It also helps me understand this or that concept without googling and reading 10 pages to understand the one specific detail I need to know. It is like using Excel vs. a simple calculator.

    And yes, I think GPT4 from like a year ago was even more powerful. But 4o now also seems pretty good again. Which LLM is even better?

      it knows how to code

      Please take a step back and reconsider what you think your mind can do vs what LLMs can. The ability to understand is what separates us from machines, at least for now. Not saying AI is bad, but it’s important to keep in mind what it is, and what we are. Also, fuck OpenAI, run local models if you can.

        What is your point? I do not have time to learn everything about every topic and do it all by hand too. This tool saves me time. I do not have to learn the intricate details of how to code a frontend with the fucking retarded functions and what not. Let alone the matching backend. I just need to know what I want and then get it, even if it takes a few tries and debugging.
