General Discussion

ChatGPT 5.2 has also improved but sometimes its tone is a little patronizing at times. Perhaps due to guardrails, it can sound a bit too much like it’s your therapist. Reddit has some interesting threads observing how Em dashes aren’t used as often. Instead it relies on a lot of short sentences. It’s odd, but depending on the subject can be a very good reference tool.

I have also used LLMs for small coding tasks and excel macro code. It saved me a lot of time. It beats going through multiple stack exchange discussions, which often didn’t answer my questions. Does it make world class, ready to ship software with efficient code? Probably not, but for my purposes it often worked.

As long as one knows these tools’ limits they can be useful. I don’t use them for image generation, so I have no idea how they compare.
