I am no software engineer. Beyond entry level, I have no idea. From your demonstration, it looks like there would be a revolution for front end/front desk/entry level programming. I am learning and what Chat GPT did there is much faster than me a beginner learner can do even with open book, notes, template and help from Google, RU-vid! Chat GPT may not replace all, but I do see it replace lot of entry level job. Seeing that capable programmers can be much more productive, so these may get paid more to do the job of many more (companies saving money)... Vincent. May you consider reboot the zero to software engineer tutorial series, teaching how to use ChatGPT? (I am in middle way of the series at the Html, CSS part). I feel knowing how to use ChatGPT productively may soon be a required skill (learn to read code fast). Correct me if I am wrong (a newbie)
I don't think I will reboot the tutorial series to incorporate ChatGPT. The stuff I cover is important key knowledge. Hopefully this video showed you how you could use ChatGPT to resolve web issues and also get it to help you with web development. One thing I will correct you is that many companies have proprietary code. So no one is going to copy their company code into ChatGPT. Given that, unless ChatGPT becomes integrated into companies, many software engineers will not be using it for things related to work.
I have been trying to use ChatGPT to help me write an extendscript plugin for Adobe Indesign. It's not a perfect solution as GPT will often create methods for extendscript which either don't exist, are incorrectly formatted, or are used in programs other than Adobe InDesign (extendscript features methods compatible with only certain programs in the suite). And I often find myself in a loop of incorrect answers. However it is a valuable resource for debugging code which actually does exist. It has been able to help me fix some extendscript errors I have received and has offered solutions to problems which I had previously struggled to find in the documentation I'm sure it's useful for common languages like JS, C, C++, and Python, but I imagine it will suffer in languages with less training examples as well as emerging languages and frameworks as the ai is trained on models before a specific point in time
Yeah I agree! ChatGPT just needs more data on extendscript and then it will be able to provide better answers. But it sounds like it's pretty good with giving general debugging advice which is also great!
