ChatGPT suggested...

I have noticed that some monks seem quite against ChatGPT and its ability to provide useful information. I am not one of those monks. I make a lot of use of AI tools, not just ChatGPT.

However, you have to be aware that ChatGPT is like a little puppy. It is always out to please you and make you happy. To this end, it will give you answers that it wants you to hear. Even if they are totally wrong. This can be improved a bit by better prompting, especially letting the AI know that it can ask questions of you if needed.

ChatGPT is, in my experience, not the best tool for providing code although it can help you understand what is going on in a piece of code that you are struggling with. I would suggest you look at Perplexity for starters. Unlike ChatGPT, it also searches the web to find the answers to your questions and provides the sources it has found so you can check them out for credibility. I find that Perplexity often uses PerlMonks as a source for Perl information so, if nothing else, it knows to look in the best place 😁
