Saw on twitter last week that somehow, ChatGPT was getting worse in generating code. Why is this so?

I don’t think ChatGPT is getting worse, I think from time to time OpenAI servers are overloaded and it has a mechanism in place to give you the first lazy answer it finds. Typically if you start a new chat or if you insist with your questions it gets better. However, depending on the subject, sometime bad answers is all you will get. I compared ChatGPT with LeMistral and for programming they are both pretty close.
