barely usable results

Using chatgpt and copilot has been a huge productivity boost for me, so your comment surprised me. Perhaps its usefulness varies across fields. May I ask what kind of tasks you have tried chatgpt for, where it's been unhelpful?

Literally anything that requires knowing facts to inform writing. This is something LLMs are incapable of doing right now.

Just look up how many R's are in strawberry and see how chat gpt gets it wrong.

Okay what the hell is wrong with it

It took me three times to convince it that there's 3 r's in strawberry...

May I ask what kind of tasks...

No, you may not.
