Got in the way: Hallucinations and incorrect code generation on standard stack.

I usually code in more estoteric bits of tech and problems which I didn't expect ChatGPT to do well in but I tried it at work on a standard backend stack (Java, Ivy, Ant) and it was absolutely _terrible_. It kept making stuff up and then I kept correcting it. I cannot understand how people are using it for work?!
