The more you use Chat GPT, the more likely it will screw you over in subtle ways

Got in the way: Fooling user on obscure topics and subtle bugs
… Basically, I cannot trust it on anything that's hard -- my 20 years of experience have made me weary of certain topics and whenever those come up, I KNOW that I don't know, I KNOW that that particular topic is tricky, obscure, niche and my output is low confidence, and I need to slow down. The more you use Chat GPT, the more likely it will screw you over in subtle ways; I remember being very surprised about how could so very subtle bugs arise EXACTLY in the pieces of code I deemed very unlikely to need tests. I know our interns/younger folks use it for everything and I just hope there's got to be some ways to profit from people mindlessly using it.
