digitalmars.D.learn - What do you think about using Chat GPT to create functions in D?

I asked Chat-GPT to create a function in D that was similar to 
the rsplit() function in Python. It returned this code to me:


import std.algorithm;
import std.array;
import std.string;

string[] rsplit(string input, string separator, size_t maxsplit = 
size_t.max) {
     auto splitter = splitter(input, separator, SplitterFlag.all);
     auto results = splitter.array;
     if (maxsplit < results.length - 1)
         results = results[results.length - maxsplit - 1 .. $];
     return results;
}

I once tested ChatGPT to generate Common Lisp code (a simple 
Redis client). They had a warning that this is not a code 
generation tool nevertheless it tried to do so. All the code it 
had was incorrect: it imported foreign libraries that didn't 
exist and when I complained about it, it apologized and then 
proposed other libraries that didn't exist. Overall I had the 
impression that I'm working with some dumb person who pasted me 
stuff from stackoverflow that seemed to solve my issue.

Let me mention that I once asked ChatGPT what is 11 plus 11 and 
when it responded 22, I told it that it's wrong, it should be 30. 
It apologized and said that I'm right, it's 30. I tried to do the 
same experiment again after one day to show off my friends, but 
it became more resilient to such suggestions.

Well you can use GitHub Copilot in VSCode, and it is kind of 
interesting but at the current time seems like a distracting 
waste of time. It will probably get more useful in a few years.

LLMs repeats commonly accepted lies as gospel, so do not expect a 
well adjusted human-like opinion on anything.

Recently, it helped me figure out an OpenGL task using d.

     This is the code it suggests after I provide some details to 
it about the case and the error I get:
     ```d
     Slice!(RCI!ubyte, 3LU, Contiguous) plot2imslice()  nogc 
nothrow
     {
         import mir.rc;

         Slice!(RCI!ubyte, 3LU, Contiguous) imgslice = 
rcslice!ubyte([height, width, 3], 0);

         glfwMakeContextCurrent(_glfwWindow);

         // create and bind framebuffer
         GLuint fbo;
         glGenFramebuffers(1, &fbo);
         glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fbo);

         // create and bind texture
         GLuint texture;
         glGenTextures(1, &texture);
         glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture);
         glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGB, width, height, 0, 
GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, null);
         glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 
GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture, 0);

         // render scene to framebuffer
         glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fbo);
         // render your scene here

         // read pixel data from framebuffer
         glReadPixels(0, 0, width, height, GL_RGB, 
GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, imgslice.ptr);

         // flip image vertically
         for (size_t y = 0; y < height / 2; y++) {
             for (size_t x = 0; x < width; x++) {
                 // swap rows
                 swap(imgslice[y][x], imgslice[height - y - 1][x]);
             }
         }

         // unbind framebuffer and cleanup
         glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
         glDeleteTextures(1, &texture);
         glDeleteFramebuffers(1, &fbo);

         return imgslice;
     }
     ```

     And this is the code after required modifications:
     ```d
     auto plot2imslice()  nogc nothrow
         {
             import mir.rc;

             Slice!(RCI!ubyte, 3LU, Contiguous) imgslice = 
rcslice!ubyte([height, width, 3], 0);

             glfwMakeContextCurrent(_glfwWindow);

             // create and bind framebuffer
             GLuint fbo;
             glGenFramebuffers(1, &fbo);
             glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fbo);

             // create and bind texture
             GLuint texture;
             glGenTextures(1, &texture);
             glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture);
             glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGB, width, height, 
0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, null);
             glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 
GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture, 0);

             // render scene to framebuffer
             glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fbo);

             // render scene here
             render();

             // read pixel data from framebuffer
             glReadPixels(0, 0, width, height, GL_RGB, 
GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, imgslice.ptr);

             import mir.utility : swap;
             // flip image vertically to correct generated image
             foreach (y; 0..height / 2) {
                 each!swap(imgslice[y], imgslice[height - y - 1]);
             }
             // unbind framebuffer and cleanup
             glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
             glDeleteTextures(1, &texture);
             glDeleteFramebuffers(1, &fbo);

             return imgslice;
         }
     ```

This comment of chatGPT saved the day :) // render your scene here
