I experiment every so often with ChatGPT, usually having it create a simple multiplayer browser-based app with a server-side backend. The most recent being a collaborative pixel art app similar to /r/place.
Usually by the time ChatGPT generates something that actually works, after some guidance and generally minimal code edits (usually due to its context loss), I could've written a far more optimized version myself. Its capabilities are still extremely impressive nonetheless and I look forward to future iterations of this technology. Super nice tool to have for mundane code generation and it'll only get better.
Really wish I could use anything like this at work to generate tests... it's really good at that.
