RIP to your install CD!
These guys have had my $20 bucks a month since Plus was live, they will indeed be more than fine.

As Open Ai notes here are the limitations of ChatGPT
Limitations
ChatGPT sometimes writes plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers. Fixing this issue is challenging, as: (1) during RL training, there’s currently no source of truth; (2) training the model to be more cautious causes it to decline questions that it can answer correctly; and (3) supervised training misleads the model because the ideal answer depends on what the model knows(opens in a new window), rather than what the human demonstrator knows.
ChatGPT is sensitive to tweaks to the input phrasing or attempting the same prompt multiple times. For example, given one phrasing of a question, the model can claim to not know the answer, but given a slight rephrase, can answer correctly.
The model is often excessively verbose and overuses certain phrases, such as restating that it’s a language model trained by OpenAI. These issues arise from biases in the training data (trainers prefer longer answers that look more comprehensive) and well-known over-optimization issues.1, 2 Ideally, the model would ask clarifying questions when the user provided an ambiguous query. Instead, our current models usually guess what the user intended.
While we’ve made efforts to make the model refuse inappropriate requests, it will sometimes respond to harmful instructions or exhibit biased behavior. We’re using the Moderation API to warn or block certain types of unsafe content, but we expect it to have some false negatives and positives for now. We’re eager to collect user feedback to aid our ongoing work to improve this system.
With code it does the same thing and its prediction skills aren't tuned by humans perfectly yet.
The trick is to deploy massive empathy for him and know that he's displaying sure signs of insecurity.
I'm sure he knows that you know he was laid off. He also is intimidated that you're smarter than he is. But this is life, you'll be continually surrounded by folks that don't know their place and struggle when confronted with "threats" like yourself.
Walk in his shoes for a day and if you feel like it start asking about his past life, his past teams and experiences. Find out about his home life, does he have kids, did he watch Game of Thrones last night?
Don't take people like this seriously, just know that they're hurting inside when their behavior makes zero sense to you.
This is what I do and it works!
Finally know that when you dig deeper, you'll uncover that his actions have nothing to do with you.

What you're missing is three fold...
1: Where do people hire freelancers.
2: Sales skills.
3: An alternative to worrying about 1 and 2.
1. Create a profile and Upwork. While everything you'll read about Upwork will be negative you need leads. Upwork gets them for you and yes you can create your own website and start there but Upwork already spends a ton of money on ads / SEO and content marketing to keep generating leads. Take advantage of it.
2. Learing how to sale is critical for everyone, especially web designers and developers. Go down the YouTube rabbit hole and got to Amazon and search for sales books. There are a million ways to sale things so read the first chapter of each book and read reviews until you find something that sounds like you can feel comfortable using with clients.
I recommend Jonathanstark.com, Doubleyourfreelancing.com and read How to Become a Rainmaker: The Rules for Getting and Keeping Customers and Clients
3. Alternatively you can skip the above and do one of the following. Subcontract with a marketing agency that needs to hire a developer. Find them using Google and could email them. Tell them you will lower your rate since they're getting the clients and that you don't like sales.
Finally you can hire a sales person on 100% commission to find clients in need of web development and if they ever find a client that doesn't match your skill set outsource the work using your same Upwork account. Upwork allows you to not only freelance but to hire as well.
The sales person should get 50% of the project costs upfront to start and upon delivery the client would pay 50% when completely satisfied.
Pay the sales person 20% to 30% of the project or agree on a fixed fee. They don't get paid if they don't find a project for you so make sure and hire many salespeople.
Finally if you're smart (which you seem to be) don't worry about knowing everything before you jump in. I've been freelancing since 2004 and run into new technology I have zero clue about. Howler I simply read the documentation or watch videos and boom new knowledge.
Start now and be confident in yourself!
