Giving me flashbacks to a college instructor that marked my entire functioning code block, written on paper, as wrong because I did not clearly make a ; on one line of about 100 lines. I argued that a compiler would mark that in the real world, but he countered with "It still won’t run without that ; " That made me rethink my career path in CS. Fuck that guy.
You would think eventually some of it would sink in. I mean I use LLMs to write code all the time but it’s very rarely 100% correct, often with syntax errors or logic problems. Having to fix that stuff is an excellent way to at least learn the syntax.
Since version 4 it has no problem generating working code. The question is how complex the code can get etc. But currently with o1 (o3 mini perhaps a bit less) a dozen functions with 1000 lines of code are really possible without a flaw.
This person is LARPing as a CS major on 4chan
It’s not possible to write functional code without understanding it, even with ChatGPT’s help.

U underestimate the power of the darkside, how powerful ctrl+c ctrl+v is young padawan
If you copy and paste from ChatGPT your code won’t compile.
You need to know what the peices of code do and how to peice them together to make it work.
Which is kind of impossible to do without understanding it

If I tell ChatGPT “write me a program in python that does X, Y, and Z” it will not output code that can be compiled or ran without editing
