To say you've never gotten a fully correct result on anything has to be hyperbole. These things are tested. We know their hallucination rate, and it's not 100%.
Please read the entire comment. Of course it can answer simple stuff. So can a google search. It's overkill for simple shit.
Yeah, I read the entire comment and the key word was "anything", which as you just admitted was in fact hyperbole. As I said it was.
It's actually not overkill, because the way it responds (even for simple requests) can be tailored to help you understand things better. I've thrown everything at from simple stuff to complex stuff, and it does a really good job 90% of the time.
The entire phrase I used was "anything beyond the absolute basics". Meaning it only works on basic things. Just because you fixated on a word doesn't mean it was "key".
I've had to fix literally every piece of code, scripting, email, or whatever else I've tried to use it for. The only time it's moderately successful is if I give it very explicit instructions on information I need from a document or website and it can accomplish about as much as hitting ctrl+F and doing a search, and even then it throws in random bullshit from the internet if it can't find all the information I asked for. Even when I explicitly tell it to stick to the source. If you have some examples of how you're using it effectively I'd love to hear them because it's been absolute trash for me.
