Four Challenges
I decided to judge the quality of the AI using the following four challenges:
- How to Pass Variables to Ansible Playbook in the command line? - Ansible extra variables
- Configure a Windows Host for Ansible - Ansible winrm
- Using Date, Time, and Timestamp in Ansible Playbook - Ansible Tip and Tricks
- Change user password - Ansible module user
Challenge 1
- How to Pass Variables to Ansible Playbook in the command line? - Ansible extra variables
Score: Good
Challenge 2
- Configure a Windows Host for Ansible - Ansible winrm
Score: Bad
Challenge 3
- Using Date, Time, and Timestamp in Ansible Playbook - Ansible Tip and Tricks
Score: Good
Challenge 4
- Change user password - Ansible module user
Score: Good
Recap
ChatGPT is a great companion that speeds up prototyping and boosts our productivity. I’m impressed by the quality of the result. They appear good-looking and well-organized. However, at the moment, the outcome requires some manual rework before being able actually to use in our laboratory. The challenges saw that it is excellent for minor problems but lacks for those requiring more context interpretation.
