I paid for ChatGPT Plus recently and since it’s for a month, I am trying to use it at every useful moment. So I begin to some mini coding projects, putting prompts to create some kind of automation. My wife asked what I was doing and whether I know how to code now. I said no, I just copied pasted snippets to make them work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She saw the meme above and shared it with me. To be fair I only used one GPT, and not 5, but other than that, I can sympathise with the meme. I don’t think there is any deep thinking involved in me doing this projects and like these AI, I don’t really understand what I am doing, rather rapidly implementing the codes\/snippets and see whether they work. While I am putting machine codes into a machine in the hope it works, AI is spouting text to human in the hope that we understand, or in this case, apply them properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another eerie parallel that I see is that although I don’t really understand why this variable is declared here, and why this function is there, I start to see a pattern of how codes should look like. Although not as rapid nor with as many data as GPT, I am building an understanding and connecting the dots through constant exposure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far those are my takeaways from using GPT to learn about coding. Let’s see what my opinion will be in one month’s time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
