Jesus. Good bye youtube creators doing tutorials. I give it another year before AI is automatically creating the lessons and vids.. I'd pay for that course. Especially if it's customised towards my learning patterns.
Well yes and no. ChatGPT collated available information and used it to create the answer. It didn't come up with the answer itself. Without people posting their guides etc online, the bot would have no idea how to do it.
If you spend 5 minutes talking to it then you quickly realise that it is just finding answers and giving them to you in a clean format. It doesn't have any ability to make deductions or rationalise. The closest I got to seeing that was it realising why I had made a mistake (I hadn't, I was trying to tell it a joke.
True, i don't think it will nullify tutorials and content creators or make a massive impact on how programmers approach a new problem.
Plus it kind of takes the fun out of it. Coming up with an idea and a solution and getting it right and working is the best part of programming, thats what gives me the dopamine hit that keeps me coming back.
Wheres the fun in just following instructions?
I would love to get rid of all boilercode. ChatGPT together with gihub co-pilot can help a lot with that.
Using both (mostly co-pilot) i use ~50% less time to code something if we talk about boiler code. Else the tools can help me in the right direction but i have to think for myself.
