    If it spits out the wrong syntax my compiler will tell me immediately.

      While I never had it happen, it could give you wrong command line switches that do damage. For example, when I asked how I could list volumes attached to an AWS instance, it gave me a “modify-volume” command instead of “describe-volume” command. Thankfully, I caught that before I cut and paste it.

      It’s bad enough at programming that you can often see the problems without the help of the compiler

      Last thing I asked it for, after the fourth draft still had undeclared variables and called imaginary libraries (which if they existed would be great)

      It was good for coming up with a nice structure for a small program
