So prompt engineering is all the rage (a friend of mine even wrote a book — you magnificent bastard, I haven’t read it yet) — and I have a problem with trying to export GCP configuration for use with Deployment manager. Specifically, how to get CloudRun to work.

So an impressive session (and another one) result with some cool reasoning by ChatGPT in response to me pointing out that things don’t quite work (yes, Amigo Grady, I know it’s not reasoning)… Except that they don’t work.

Which I finally find via StackOverflow — because this feature is unsupported, per Google. But this info is probably outside the training data window of our esteemed LLM.

What’s the moral of the story? There is no moral — use it as a tool. Just a tool.
