What kind of encoded string did you use?

It’s pretty impressive that it was able to actually decode those strings. In March, I used GPT 3.5 to write code for validating a type of string which used a checksum algorithm.

It did the task well, and even wrote tests, but it failed when generating test case values. I wonder if it would perform better if I did it today.

Thank you for taking the time to call BS on someone who obviously never tried asking a LLM AI to decipher a string's encoding. That is exactly the kind of thing they are good ar.

Two people can try similar prompts and get very different results from LLM’s.
