1. having ChatGPT generate boilerplate, because I’m lazy;
2. having ChatGPT attempt something I don’t know as a starting point, eg JavaScript; or,
3. having ChatGPT give a reference rather than Google myself, eg of a config option.
ChatGPT makes 1 less tedious, 3 less a game of “what magic phrase finds the right SO post?”, and means I do 2 at all, eg trying out JS features on my blog.
I think it does alright at composition if you break down the task sufficiently, but it struggles with higher order structure — particularly if you’re using multiple responses.
That said, I suspect we need a theory shift to get AI to comprehend higher order structure in composition.
