Very interesting. To me "talking" with ChatGPT feels like talking to a machine.
Copilot seemed much more "human". Of course mine was just a documentation question and not a pure "write me some code" challenge, so that may be the difference.

A coding test is different from providing documentation.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Have you utilized perplexity.
|
|
|
|

Probably not yet, since this is just a basic question. However, I really couldn't find documentation on this particular item and Copilot did a great job of providing context and explaining it clearly.
We will see how it does on perplex questions in the future.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I've had nice experiences with Copilot. Wanted a customized animation timer for Powerpoint, and Copilot gave its VBA code in a trice. Works like a charm.

The IT segment catering to the latter of the subject, is the ERP segment.
Businesses still continued before computers, based on paper, file based manual systems. This comprise a host of activities like invoicing, physical stock,...etc.
A typical invoicing program would be in the range of several thousand lines of code, resulting in not less than around 10 man days.
Well that is the time it takes to INSTRUCT THE COMPUTER
to carry out the invoicing activity.
How long will it take to train a human to carry out the task of invoicing? Well if that human is smart, may be an hour or less. But let's say that it be one day(8 to 5).
So we are saying that we coders are dumb!!!! We are taking 10 times the time to code than the time to train!!!! How can that be?
Well, a human has a mind which can be trained. Well give the machine a mind. Real Mind, not AM(Artificial Mind).

No, we coders are extremely clever. We can take a mindless machine and train it to perform tasks that used to require a mind!

The human creating the invoices by hand will do so slowly and make random variable mistakes.
The computer creating the invoices will do so very quickly and make very precise mistakes.

It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.

To err is human, to really mess up requires a computer.

If my boss was saying that kind of thing to me I'd read it as "change your attitude" and I would.

If my boss had said that to me I would tell him to take that dime and stick it where the sun don't shine.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

Mike, Mike, Mike. You forgot an essential part of your response.
I would tell him to take that dime, fold it until it's all sharp corners, and stick it where the sun don't shine.

I've occasionally worked for other people, but over time I figured I was as smart or smarter than them and decided to work for myself, which I've done most of my life.

Same here Mike - I got lucky my first contract was a six month one on a bank liquidation, which turned out to be the worlds largest (still is) , I managed to get rid of my agent and go direct - it lasted 21 years - got to be some sort of record.

Fo sho, the word "boss" has a total negative connotation to it, that's more akin to master. That only works in Kung Fu movies.

Agreed, but to be fair, most people don't realize what it's like to employ people. Once you hire people, with your own money/budget, you tend to have a bit more empathy for employers. Maybe he's a douche, but we don't know. What we do know is the OP has issues.

Can't argue with any of that.
