you can remain in a mental state of thinking about the actual problem

more like you'll end up wasting a significant amount of time debugging not only the problem, but also chatGPT, trying to correct the bullshit it spews out, often ignoring parts of your prompt

That hasn't been my experience. How are you trying to use it?

[-] pkill@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

It might be wrong even if you provide extensive context to make it more accurate in it's heuristics. And providing extensive context is pretty time consuming at times.

I think it would help me organize my thoughts to write that all out anyway even without a LLM.

I mean it might be good at helping you when you're stuck, but sometimes it misses simple issues such as typos and for one issue resolved, it might introduce another if you're not careful.
