I didn't mean to be rude or anything like that. You are probably right, seeing all these positive opinions, there must be value in there.

I'm just amazed by the reactions on this post. From the HN crowd I was, wongly, expecting very different opinions.

For coding, are you using it like a pairing with a junior developer or more like a search engine for documentation?



I use it with the documentation of what I'm building.

Paste in the relevant section of the developer docs, ask it to write a function, or ask it to produce a valid API request, etc.

I suppose it's like a junior dev in a sense but it's very fast, can correct its own mistakes if you point them out, and has an internet worth of knowledge about various approaches and troubleshooting techniques.

I find most people who don't see value haven't actually used GPT-4 yet. Have you?
