Twice. Don’t like it
Not Chat GPT, but I have used Copilot. It provided enough information (some completely wrong) to lead me to actual factual information/data. I have used it enough to know that whatever information provided, it needs to be verified by actual sources.
My neighbor used Chat GPT to ask about a name of a tree on our street.
It looks like a Sycamore but was called a London-something.
The answer came back, … London Plain, … Yep!!
Well, that was a surprise.
If I would use a cell phone, it might come in handy.
That’s London Plane – a great tree for a city environment. The roots go down instead of sideways and don’t heave the curb or sidewalk, and it can tolerate city pollution. I spec them whenever a landscape architect will let me.
Thank You for the correction in spelling.
At UC Berkeley, and specifically Sproul Plaza and the Campanile Esplanade, all of the trees are London Plane. They are pollarded annually, and provide for great shade in summer.
Not specifically but these kind of apps can cut the time I need to find various solutions to software development problems. Otherwise one has to figure just the right wording to find the solutions. The apps fuzzy logic up a bit and able find solutions that are not worded the way you might expect. Same for a number of things like the original name of a street. 😁

Problem is what they want to do with these will take a lot of energy and I’m not sure it’s really worth it.
I would prefer that the AI was more like a human where she would say “Would X be a better way to solve the issue?,” you mull over the idea, and decide to code it up. Instead, what seems the AI “mansplains” by generating a huge chunk of mystifying code. You copy/paste it in and as it seems to work you move on to the next issue, leaving acres of mystifying code behind.

ChatGPT tends to not provide sources or links to information. It will generate authoritative sounding but false sources or citations that seem to support its position. This results in humans either learning next to nothing or worse, learning false or misleading things. Many times I’ll hear about something. I’ll start reading the source material and discover a whole field of things that are useful to the issue I’m dealing with.

I am wondering why the original https://www.claycord.com/2025/05/02/the-water-cooler-have-you-used-chat-gpt/ URL for this thread is now a 404 error and the comments about ChatGPT and AI and are now on the The Clayton Police Weekly Activity Report at https://www.claycord.com/2025/05/03/the-clayton-police-weekly-activity-report-422/ Is that a Claycord hallucination or a late April Fools prank?
Chat GPT, Copilot, ? ? ? ?
