I was pretty impressed with it the other day, it converted ~150 lines of Python to C pretty flawlessly. I then asked it to extend the program by adding a progress bar to the program and that segfaulted, but it was immediately able to discover the segfault and fix it when I mentioned. Probably would have taken me an hour or two to write myself and ChatGPT did it in 5 minutes.
My experience has been similar. Surprisingly useful for certain things, especially if you can spot the errors right away. It’s not like most programming requires any significant ingenuity - mostly just matching different datasets to different algorithms and pipelining the outputs in different ways, at least at my level. There’s often a little ingenuity required to manage and direct programming efforts appropriately, but that’s a different matter.
