It’s really limited to basic, junior level programming assistance, and even then it’s not 100% reliable. Any time I’ve tried asking it something more advanced it takes a lot of coaxing to get it to output reasonable code. But it’s helpful for boilerplating basic code sometimes.
I haven’t had many issues in 4. Occasionally it does what you’re saying and I just say “bro, that doesn’t exist” and it’s like “oh, my bad, here you go.” And gives me something that works.
I used gpt4 for terraform and it was kind of all over the place in terms of fully deprecated methods. It felt like a nice jumping off point but honestly probably would’ve been less work to just write it up from the docs in the first place.
I can definitely see how it could help someone fumble through it and come up with something working without knowing what to look for though.
Was also having weird issues with it truncating outputs and needing to split it, but even telling it to split would cause it to kind of stall.

Have you tried 3.5 or 4?
