    Just explain what you are trying to do like you would with a person and it will give you the code. It probably won’t quite be what you want so refine your request or post a photo of the errors you might get and try again.

    If you are working with a language that you aren’t familiar with it is very helpful. Just remember that it has been trained on all the code on the internet, so it knows a lot.

    It is a great tool, with limitations, of course. As the developer you have to know how to apply it to get the most from it. You can see from the downvotes that there’s a lot of negativity towards llms, but I have positive experiences with using ChatGPT.
