I've been working on some low level Unity C# game code and have been using GPT to quickly implement certain algorithms etc.

One time it provided me with a great example, but then a few days later I couldn't find that conversation again in the history. So I asked it about the same question (or so I thought) and it provided a very subpar answer. It took me at least 3 questions to get back to that first answer.

Now if it had never provided me with the first good one I'd have never known about the parts it skipped in the second conversation.

Of course that could happen just as easily by having used google and a specific reference to write your code, but the point I'm trying to make is that GPT isn't a single entity that's always going to provide the same output, it can be extremely variable from terrible to amazing at the end of the day.

Having used google for many years as a developer I'm much better at asking it questions than say people in the business world is, I've seen them struggling to question it and far too easily giving up. So I'm quite scared to see what's going to happen once they really start to use and rely on GPT, the results are going to be all over the place.
