I second this. My impressions so far are pretty much the same. Have been trying to get ChatGPT to generate code for some algorithms that are pretty close to well known implementations but with some twists and it absolutely fails no matter how much I tried to provide hints to change the suggestions it gave me. In the end I just went back to hand coding them since it actually saves me the frustration of trying to get ChatGPT to bend in the direction I need.

Have you tried GPT-4?

Will give it a go. But probably it’ll take another generation or two before it’s good enough.

Cool. I’d be interested in the algorithm that you’re giving it to write and what problem it is having with the output.
