Yesterday I spent about 2 hours trying to get ChatGPT to walk me through the install process of putting Arch on a 2011 MacBook Air. It just wouldn’t work and the further along we got the harder it seemed and I really thought that using AI was necessary. I finally gave up and read the Arch Wiki and had it installed in under 45 minutes.

I tried reading the gadget bridge instructions for my watch. Could not get a straight answer on getting the authorization key (I'm a noob), wasted 2 hr. o3 gave me perfect instructions that got it done in 20 minutes. Ya win some ya lose some.

Yeah. It is really good at some things and bad at other things. I used to have a good sense for it but the arch install threw me off.

I find it’s good at giving regex commands from natural language and vise versa. It’s really helped me get a grip on that aspect of learning (neo)vim.
