Any app successfully written with GPT

Just a curiosity question.

Has anyone seen a well written program of medium complexity - written by a GPT bot ?

All the examples I’ve seen so far have exhibited fairly poor quality of code.
Poor use of constructs, functions or other medium-to-advanced programming styles.

Admittedly, the users that generated the code may not have defined the problem well, but GPT appeared quite ‘literal and clumsy’ when trying to write elegant, readable source code.

I am not sure what you mean by "medium complexity" and how you would judge "well written" but the answer to your question is almost certainly no

Yes, I understand your comment, and answer…

I was hoping to avoid newbies that managed to blink a LED with 200 lines of code.

It’s difficult to describe ‘medium complexity’ - maybe 2 or 3 inputs, some conditionals, timing and controlled outputs.

Just wondering, because every example I’d seen until now has been like ‘the thousand monkeys given an infinite time’ challenge.

To me ChatGPT is not a problem solver; rather, it is a good source of structured information that could be effectively used to prepare a working sketch which I have seen in the case of using FreeRTOS.

i think it depends on how precisely you specify the requirements for the program. so instead of writing an error free program, you need to write a complete, correct and unambiguous set of requirements
