I fully resonate with point #2. A few days ago, I was stuck trying to implement some feature in a C++ library, so I used ChatGPT for brainstorming.

ChatGPT proposed a few ideas, all apparently reasonable, and then it advocated for one that was presented unambiguously as the "best". After a few iterations, I realized that its solution would have required a class hierarchy where the base class contained a templated virtual function, which is not allowed in C++. I pointed this out to ChatGPT and asked it to rethink the solution; it then immediately advocated for the other approach it had initially suggested.
