About whether ChatGPT could replace human programming mentors.

Do you really think that ChatGPT can analyze the work done by a human and provide meaningful and accurate feedback? It's very easy to make a claim, but have you perhaps tried it?

My experience with ChatGPT is the generation of text based off a prompt. If you have actually done something similar to what you claim that would prove very interesting. It might eliminate most forms of management.

An AI analyzes a person's work and gives meaningful, accurate feedback on it.
