    ChatGPT regularly makes up methods or entire libraries

    I think that when it is doing that, it is normally a sign that what you are asking for does not exist and you are on the wrong track.

    ChatGPT cannot explain, because it doesn’t understand

    I often get good explanations that seem to reflect understanding, which often would be difficult to look up otherwise. For example when I asked about the code generated, {myVariable} , and how it could be a valid function parameter in javascript, it responded that it is the equivalent of {"myVariable":myVariable}, and “When using object literal property value shorthand, if you’re setting a property value to a variable of the same name, you can simply use the variable name.”

      If ChatGPT gives you correct information you’re either lucky or just didn’t realize it was making shit up. That’s a simple fact. LLMs absolutely have their uses, but facts ain’t one of them.
