Is this (still?) true? 👀

[Landry Norris]

ChatGPT uses an archive from 2021 for its training, and currently does not have access to the up-to-date web. I would be wary of anything it says about Compose.

For this specific method, it doesn’t autocomplete in Android Studio, and I don’t see it in the current source for SnapshotState.kt (where it used to be according to a Google search).

Also, it does make up BS sometimes. Like if I ask how to do a specific thing in Jetpack Compose (like custom height bottom sheet), it'll mention function arguments that don't actually exist and probably haven't existed, like dragFraction.

ChatGPT’s biggest challenge is that it’s always confident. I find that most output looks right at first glance, but it typically has some small error for anything more complex than a short function.

We need something to mark questions on these “answers” from bots

Supposedly, it’s possible to copy/paste the new API docs into a response, and it’s supposed to update its knowledge (for just that conversation, of course), but I haven’t seen this work well. It forgets after a few replies.

We need a new term for this overconfidence. Chatsplaining? Botsplaining?
