Hi ChatGPT, write code with no memory or logic errors to perform .
I’m not sure how to talk to ChatGPT, I’m assuming like Siri.
LLMs are statistical word association machines. Or tokens more accurately. So if you tell it to not make mistakes, it'll likely weight the output towards having validation, checks, etc. It might still produce silly output saying no mistakes were made despite having bugs or logic errors. But LLMs are just a tool! So use them for what they're good at and can actually do, not what they themselves claim they can do lol.
I've found it behaves like a stubborn toddler
If you tell it not to do something it will do it more, you need to give it positive instructions not negative
I asked chat gpt to make me a business logo. It spelt the name wrong in every instance. Ok, keep that picture but replace the words with this exact spelling. Spelt it wrong a different way. Continued about 20 times before I gave up. It won't follow explicit instructions. I can't see it being that amazing at code
