It's mostly blogspam and gpt generated "articles" and has been for years. Some of the language specific subs were good though.

Yeah if it's that hard to find gpt is just going to hallucinate some bs into the response. I use it as a stack overflow at times and often run into garbage when I'm trying to solve a truly novel problem. I'll often try to simplify it to something contrived but mostly find the output useful as a sort of spark. I can't say I ever find the raw code it generates useful or all that good.

It'll often give wrong answers but some of those can contain useful bits that you can arrange into a solution. It's cool, but I still think people are oddly enamored with what is really just a talking Google. I don't think it's the game changer people are thinking it is.

Cool. I might have to check that out! I just searched for lemmy in fdroid and didn't see it but that could just be fdroid's search or missing tags or something.

Yeah I'm not about to switch to the fediverse and not use fully open source apps. I install almost nothing from the Google play store. There's no need to use Google play services to make a lemmy app.
