Pro-tip: Check out Claude or Gemini. They hallucinate far less on coding tasks. Alternatively, enable internet search on o3 which boosts its ability to reference online documentation and real world usage examples.

I get having a bad taste in your mouth but these tools _aren't _ magic and do have something of a steep learning curve in order to get the most out of them. Not dissimilar from vim/emacs (or lots of dev tooling).

edit: To answer a reply (hn has annoyingly limited my ability to make new comments) yes, internet search is always available to ChatGpT as a tool. Explicitly clicking the globe icon will encourage the model to use it more often, however.

I didn't know it could even be disabled. It must be enabled by default, right?

You're correct. Tapping the globe icon encourages the model to use it more often.
