Programming

In the worst case scenario where you ask it a coding problem for which there is no solution—it's just not possible to do what you're asking—it may nevertheless engage you indefinitely until you eventually realize it's running you around in circles.

Exactly this, and it's frustrating as a Jr dev to be fed this bs when you're learning. I've had multiple scenarios where it blatantly told me wrong things. Like using string interpolation in a terraform file to try and set a dynamic source - what it was giving me looked totally viable. It wasn't until I dug around some more that I found out that terraform init can't use variables in the source field.

On the positive side it helps give me some direction when I don't know where to start. I use it with a highly pessimistic and cautious approach. I understand that today is the worst it's going to be, and that I will be required to use it as a tool in my job going forward, so I'm making an effort to get to grips when working with it.
