In my experience, ChatGPT has been wrong so many times that it's wasted more of my time than saved it.

So much this. I spent probably 2 hours try to get something to work that it said would work before giving up, spending 5 minutes to Google and finding the solution that I could use to get what I wanted done and more.

After that I rarely ask it for help.

If you're copying 1-for-1, yeah you're going to have a bad time.

Imo, chatgpt for coding is like using lorem Ipsum. It's giving you a placeholder of how to approach it. And you have to fix it for your own needs.
