I noticed that. Generally it’s “right enough” to help you fix your error, though.

I wouldn't say that. While I'm definitely impressed by its abilities It makes mistakes way too often for me to consider it "generally correct".

It is interesting that even when it makes a mistake it often has some reasonable sounding logic behind it. It makes it feel like it has some level of "understanding".

yeah it is annoyingly confidently wrong. Even when you point out its mistake, it might try to explain like no mistakes where made. Sometimes it admits that there was a mistake. From a coworker this would be really annoying behaviour.

Crazy that we are now far enough into AI research that we are comparing chatbots to coworkers.

Yeah. A lot of times I get a better answer from chatgpt but you really need to take its responses witha grain of salt

In my experience, it has explained every error I’ve encountered in a way that’s at least directionally correct. Can you post a counterexample?

You know people make a lot of mistakes, too, right?

Yes. But I still wouldn't say it's "generally correct" because it makes mistakes far too often.
