ChatGPT is sexist and racist...of course it is. And there is no good way to program around it.

I've read that people use it for programing. Really? How accurate could it be?

I used Autocad when I was working. And I used an obscure programing language called LISP to control functions and set up menus to suit various applications. It was rewarding in that it increased efficiency no end and I made a decent living setting up systems for various companies. I was in demand because the programming language wasn't easy to learn so there was a limited number of people who could do it.

But...It was time consuming to do. And I spent a lot of my own time setting up the basics.

So...I just asked Chatgpt if it could write a code for a particular function. A code that, from first principles, might have taken me a minimum of an hour to write and test. And it did it in a few seconds. To say that I am astonished would be an understatement.

I'm not surprised ChatGPT can write code.

But it's been found over and over to be flat out wrong to the point of lying (and there is a debate about whether an AI can "lie"). But when people have asked it for references to back up different assertions, it's provide citations that don't even exist. It will claim documents from authors who exist, but never wrote the articles ChatGPT claims they wrote, or were never in the jobs or locations ChatGPT claims they were. It literally makes up "facts" that are not true.

AI is just higher level code writing lower level code. Or a more robust language writing a less robust language.

Maybe I've been out of the business too long (5 years). But it completely threw me that it could do it after me typing a simple request.
