GPT4 is a little better about this, but where it excels the most is when used as a partner, rather than a replacement. You still have to know what you're doing to effectively use what it gives you.

Yeah, I've definitely found that in coding. It does work at the level of a very fast and reasonably competent junior coder. But, it doesn't 'understand' what it's doing, like it's just copying what looks right off stack overflow and gluing it all together.
Which, if I need a straight forward function written might be useful, but it's not going to design applications you'd want to work with in its current state.
Of course, in a few weeks we'll be talking about GPT5 and who even knows what that'll look like?
