Why You Shouldn’t Rely on GPT to Write Code

A lot of people have tried out ChatGPT and other LLMs for code their code writing abilities. My theory was that the LLMs would be really good at writing code to do things they’ve seen before, but not so good at things that were completely new. I started my experiments by asking ChatGPT to write me a function in python to geolocate a phone number. ChatGPT 3.5 did a relatively poor job of this, so I tried again using the playground and gpt-3.5-turbo. This time it was more successful.

That’s not bad. I like that it used the phonenumbers library rather than calling some external service.
