The (dis)advantages of programming with chatGPT

ChatGPT is an innovative tool that allows programmers to write code faster and easier. With ChatGPT you can simply give a natural language input and the system will automatically generate the appropriate code in the desired programming language. This saves time and effort that would otherwise be spent learning or looking up syntax, functions, or libraries.

However, ChatGPT also has some disadvantages to be aware of. For one, ChatGPT is not always reliable or accurate as it is an artificial intelligence trained on data that may contain errors or gaps. Second, ChatGPT cannot solve all kinds of problems or meet all needs that a programmer might have. Sometimes you still need to adjust, add to, or check the generated code to make sure it serves the intended purpose.

ChatGPT is therefore a useful tool, but not a substitute for your own thinking and learning. It can increase programmers' productivity and creativity, but it cannot replace them.

But it is also suitable for writing texts. Here he is even better than in programming!
