Comment on How long do you think until AI writes and debugs code better than the average programmer?

I’ve had a lot more success in debugging than in writing code. I had a problem with adjusting the sample rate of a certain metrics framework in a java application, and stackoverflow failed me, both when searching for an aswer and when asking the question. However, when I in some desperation asked GPT 3.5, I received a great answer which pinpointed the necessary adjustment.

However, asking it to write simple code snippets, i.e. for migrating to a different elasticsearch client framework, has not been great. I’m often met with the confident wrong answers.
