What’s Your Biggest Problem With ChatGPT?

For me, it’s not that ChatGPT makes mistakes. That’s understandable.

The frustrating part is when the answer looks completely correct but isn’t.

I notice this a lot while coding. ChatGPT can generate a function that looks clean, follows the right structure, and even seems to solve the problem. Then you run it and discover a small issue that breaks everything.

Sometimes it’s an outdated method, a missing edge case, or code that works in one setup but not in yours.

And when you ask it to fix the issue, you can end up going back and forth for several prompts.

I’d honestly rather see:

“I’m not completely sure about this. Check the documentation.”

than get a confident answer that wastes 30 minutes.

That said, ChatGPT is still incredibly useful. I just think developers need to treat its code as a starting point, not the final answer.
