I was disappointed, thinking that would be the end of it, but his whole class has been trying to find ways around the blocks and filters ever since. They've found some clever workarounds and a lot of things that sort of look like hacks but are not. It's adorable.
So. I made a deal with my kids that they could have a phone if they made an app. There's enough youtube tutorials and they're old enough to follow them. I could have helped them more over the summer, but we didn't get it done. Now ChatGPT will generate the flutter code for an app in seconds, as well as guide you with 'show me how to install flutter'. It's crazy that all the code is written for you. I tried one of the…
I think this is a great way to get your kids to have a habit of self-learning. In my opinions, this is the single most important skill a kid can learn.
Every time my little cousins ask me something they want to learn, I go with "Let's search for the answer together" and guide them on how to do basic research. Sometimes I ask them follow-up questions if they find the topic interesting so it gives them a sense of accomplishment. Takes little time and effort but teaches the most valuable skill.
.... to be honest, fart humour is pretty universal. This could be a 16 year old kid to be honest :D
Adorable. Interesting that mindstorms didn’t take while Python did. I’d kind of assume the opposite, since MS is more tangible and easier to visualize.
I never really got into Mindstorms either, I remember I would build a thing, then use the pre-loaded programs to run stuff, but then because I was starting from zero and didn't really have an understanding of what was going on, I wasn't able to really fiddle around very much.
With Python, it's easy to get something from very little- as is seen here from OP.

Is the ChatGPT sample code/tutorials much better than the tutorials that can be found on Google?
Hilarious! After a few of those, I taught my son how to open the javascript console and "hack" his favorite cookie clicker. He was so excited to show his friends but the school-provided chromebooks are really locked down. I was disappointed, thinking that would be the end of it, but his whole class has been trying to find ways around the blocks and filters ever since. They've found some clever workarounds and a lot o…
Show her how to loop through the print statement and she’ll be hooked forever!
I suspect some major portion of computer programmers discovered loops via 10 PRINT "FARTS" 20 GOTO 10
while (true) {

That prompt, or something like it, generated Futter code along with the instructions of how to modify a default flutter app for the code to work.
I haven't ran the code yet, but all the other code samples I asked for worked.
Asking for a ruby Student, Teacher application where the student takes multiple courses and the teacher can assign a grade to each course.
After you get that code, you can clarify in your next question.
I want each course to have progress steps.
More generated ruby code..
Can you add a grade for each progress step, and can the teacher have the ability to unlock the next progress steps.
Generates more code.
Then.
Generate me a react front end for this.
Generates React code.
I didn't install/run the code, but it looked accurate and had comments explaining what the lines of code did.

GitHub code works, ChatGPT code works, and does exactly what you want, and you can modify it just by asking.
"Change the progress array to be an object that has a grade, started date, finished date and parent acknowledgement."
That actually works as an example after the bot generated the initial app.
We're in for a world of changes.
