For those people who consider #AI a major helper when #programming, I don't know ...

Today's experience, caused by me being too lazy to look up the APIs myself:

Me: How do I do X?
Chatgpt: yadda yadda max_redirect(0).

Me: It doesn't have a max_redirect().
Chatgpt: Sorry, yes, it doesn't have it, use requests_redirectable() instead.

Me: It doesn't have a requests_redirectable() either.
Chatgpt: Sorry, you are right, it doesn't have that either.

Should I go on?

@J12t they need to replace the "sorry"s with a simple probability that what ever has been said is incorrect.

@J12t ask it for links, Gemini always redacts invalid links at least

@schizanon Now you are settling for something just a tad lower than AGI :-)

@J12t using one of the GPTs would serve better
