Over the weekend I tried to tease out a sed command that would fix an uber simple compiler error from ChatGPT [0]. I gave up after 4 or 5 tries - while it got the root cause correct ("." instead of "->" because the property was a pointer), it just couldn't figure out the right sed command. That's such a simple task, its failure doesn't inspire confidence in getting more complicated things correct.

This is the main reason I haven't actually incorporated any AI tools into my daily programming yet - I'm mindful that I might end up spending more time tracking down issues in the auto-generated code than I saved using it in the first place.
