They've created many subtle race conditions that took hours or days to debug, and once I looked at the code I realised that I would never have written it that way to start with. Yes, I noticed the race conditions being generated by ChatGPT this morning, and I called its attention to this defect. It then apologized, agreeing with me, and regenerated a safer version. So you really have to know more than the tool knows, at least at a fundamental level. You may not know as much about how all the pieces fit together (thinking of CAPI and GP here). But you have to be on the lookout for sloppiness, and offerings of consensus opinions as absolute facts. _______________________________________________ Lisp Hug - the mailing list for LispWorks users [email protected] http://www.lispworks.com/support/lisp-hug.html
