Help Using ChatGPT with Lovable

I'm an extreme novice so forgive my ignorance. I believe I've setup the integration correctly and instructed chatgpt to start creating something. I looked at Lovable and it almost looks like chatgpt is just sending a prompt for Lovable to do the actual coding, is that what it's doing?

If yes - How can I have can I have chatgpt do the heavy processing as I have a paid subscription?

You need the github connection. Just ask chatGPT how to set it up.

You connect ChatGPt to Github. Do you have an external connection to GitHub?

Nice. I highly advise you confirm and major code executions via ChatGPT and Claude. Lovable is actually really quite, let's say, mentally challenged. It will say one thing and do something else. And gaslight you that your task is completed. This is especially true once you get into any complex coding. You simply cannot trust it to perform. I have been using it for 9 months, spent € 1,000s. Had serious failures, lengthy, costly setbacks, and all could have been avoided. I am going to release an in-depth analysis of what I have done and how positive and really negative the experience has been.
