Yes, I too have found it to be completely unreliable when it comes to specifics. However, I've been finding it really helpful in a few areas:
- taking point form, or messy notes, and converting it to full sentences/paragraphs. Useful for things like writing blurbs, longer emails, proposals. Naturally, it does veer towards cliche, so you kind of have to massage it back after.
- getting a bash script started in the right direction. I'm always fuzzy on bash syntax because I don't use it all the time. ChatGPT will usually screw up some details, but those can be fixed
- getting a general overview of a new topic area like a new software library, or say a historical period
