I don’t use it to write code, or really anything. Rather I find it useful to converse with it. My experience is also that half is wrong and that it makes many dumb mistakes. But doing the conversation is still extremely valuable, because GPT often makes me aware of existing ideas that I don’t know. Also like you say it can get many things right, and then later get them wrong. That getting right part is what’s useful to me. The part where I tell it to write all my code is just not a thing I do. Usually I just have it write snippets, and it seems pretty good at that.
Overall I am like “Look there are so many useful things that GPT tells me and helps me think about simply by having a conversation”. Then somebody else says “But look it get’s so many things wrong. Even quite basic things.” And I am like “Yes, but the useful things are still useful that overall it’s totally worth it.”

Maybe for your use case try codex.
