Have to admit that I find ChatGPT's ability to provide customized code examples uncanny.

It's often a good starting point. Sometimes there isn't much to change if at all.

It can even design some custom algorithm.

When you know what you're doing, it's a very nice helper.

Yeah, I personally find ChatGPT to be easily 1 to 2 orders of magnitude better than Copilot, specifically for generating code or transmuting code from one language into another language. Really powerful.

I wonder why that is since they are both basically using gpt3 as base.

I don’t know the glue, but ChatGPT is dramatically better at understanding context and goals, and it has that whole refinement layer for iterating on responses.

There are also things chatgpt can’t/won’t do that GPT-3 will, like writing music.
