New ask Hacker News story: I'm puzzled how anyone trusts ChatGPT for code
I'm puzzled how anyone trusts ChatGPT for code

I asked ChatGPT to convert a simple 12-line Python program to Lisp. The result is broken by mismatched brackets. Yes. In Lisp. I ask for correction and receive the errant bracket moved, still mismatched. I ask again and the bracket gets removed. Fine?? No. A loop break has been mistranslated to a return from function, so execution is nonsense. I wonder how much user faith in ChatGPT is based on examples in which the errors are not apparent ... to a certain kind of user.
