Less than one hundred years after that, we have managed to juice out a general digital intellect from humanity's joint efforts. Let's see if we survive the next one hundred years, but boy, way to go!
Anyone have any good examples or tutorials of specifically how to use ChatGPT for greenfield code development ?
(It ran out of context window and started forgetting the design; if I'd started each message with the design and class layout it would have probably worked the first time!)
Specifically I asked it for a design, then a main class, then for each of the other class files. (This process could probably be automated.)
Learning something with GTP-4 is so much more fun than using google/Stack Overflow. It's like having a tutor that knows your code and gives you hints and solutions based on your actual project. It's a real game changer for learning
Yeah, but how do you get access to 4?
Decide for yourself whether that's worth it based on other people's experiences. Personally, I'll pass.
ChatGPT is a website that lets you do chat completion [1] against LLM models, and it exposes some extra functions like plug-ins if you are lucky enough to be white listed for them.
GPT 3.5 and GPT 4 are the actual models.
Someone telling you that they did something cool with ChatGPT probably means GPT 3.5
Earlier quoted context omitted.
But if you're a paid subscriber you can access GPT4 through ChatGPT's interface. Are you saying there's a difference between using the GPT4 model alone vs. the GPT4 model in the ChatGPT interface? If so, could you please clarify with an example?
That's right. I just went to look and it looks like ChatGPT has been updated to the May version. But in terms of previous experience: ChatGPT's code is almost unusable, it always ignores the most basic logic, and I only use it to write short scripts. But GPT-4, even if it contains multiple files referencing each other, it gives code that I don't even need to do Code review.
When it works it is great. When it doesn’t gap can be large.
When you ask it to correct itself it will make new mistakes and keep alternating between different mistakes and omissions.
I haven’t tried it yet on a real codebase like say a database. Is it even possible to give it that context?

“48 hours of conversation with GPT-4“ Heh, sounds like a novel form of torture. The author probably means 48 hours total over a (much) longer time, and it had all been an enjoyable ride of turbocharged learning and discovery, but that's not how it reads to my eyes.
> I even think that joining any team is a kind of slowdown. Only by sailing alone in a small boat can one maintain agility. I'm reminded of this proverb: If you need to go fast, go alone. If you need to go far, to together.
Modernizing that proverb.
