I like the idea of having a mentor with infinite patience for your mistakes, and guidance out of them.

One other idea: give ChatGPT some good code (or have it generate it) but ask it to comment out some of the key logic, leaving text explanation of the logic instead, so that you can fill in the blanks yourself and hence get some active recall (akin to how Benjamin Franklin learned to write so well, by cutting out words from high quality essays).

[ergohash]

tried it today for the first time and my mind is blown. I am most impressed how you can tell it in plain language what you want to change and it will give you an updated version of the code. Rinse and repeat till you get something working. I had no practise or knowledge on how to use Html canvas and was just asking it to make me simple animations, game, etc, react to events, display a counter in the corner of the canvas that counts my clicks on the bouncing circle, etc. its really impressive and kind of depressing at the same time

Thanks for the video! I haven't done any coding since the '00s, but I got back into doing it as a hobby this past weekend because I realized that I could use Bing Chat as my coding mentor. And it was this renewed interest in Python that led me to subscribe to your channel a couple of days ago, haha.

i've been learning python (coming from perl) by asking chatgpt to code things and then asking it to explain things i don't understand. i think this approach should scale to large projects, while i arguably never _know python_ in the conventional sense. this is probably the near future of coding, and what we consider coding will be seen as like writing in assembly language. that big an evolution, overnight

[atlantic_love]

I'm a year late into *possibly* a personal journey into AI. I've rejected AI for this long because I felt that it was misleading to others if it generates code that I use, and that people who embraced AI were 2-bit sheep. Not anymore. It's already written a resume that I am proud to look at (and everything on the resume is factual), and has taught me how to do some things with code that I would never have figured out on my own due to issues with fatigue.

Got very excited with your first video on GPT and making exams and curriculum etc.
But for Medicine, it is quite bad

[CallMeMilenko]

Another thing you can do is ask chatgpt what parameters does it require. If you don't really know how to be specific then let it ask you the specifics.

[amandamate]

even better if you use GPT-4 together with Bings chat feature because it has access to the internet

[KerishaStewart]

Ran the same prompt you did for the graphical tic tac toe. It gave this `Creating a full graphical Tic Tac Toe game in Python requires quite a bit of code. I'll provide you with a basic outline of how to do this using the Pygame library.`
It gave an outline with no logic....
Using GPT-4

[captainofthewhitetower]

Hey, idk if you would ever see this, but here it goes. So I finished a bootcamp and udemy course on python. I still feel highly not confident. I got accepted to an internship which I use chatgpt a lot. Literally I cleverly use it and manage to fix issues etc. How can I improve my skilss in python when there is chatgpt? Should I solve a hackerrank problem daily? I mean i dont want to be a chtgpt coder.

[samaeltartaro]

How are you using GTP-4? I looked about paying plus and even doing that I wouldn't be able to use CHAT GPT-4.

Gr8 info vid.
Please make a vid on roadmap to learning python specifically for stock chart analysis, getting trade signals using chart and statistical analysis of stocks.
I mean make a vid on course tailored cut for only stocks analysis.

Been doing this since gpt 3 for about a month. And I only found out about it during all that hype. Maybe a quick learner to start with?

[techtalk]

man you are really cool always like your video and pure british accent, love from Bangladesh

[bomapdich]

the only problem I had is when we start a new chat, it doesn't retain the information from the previous chats. And I don't want an infinite long script of information that can be pretty hard to navigate. Anybody has some suggestion for this issue

[KristofferEngstrom]

"It can solve the fine structure constant, and that was pretty good" 😆

[daverei]

I’ve found ChatGPT 3.5 not as good writing code as GPT 4

[rupacFan]

Is there any point learning to code now if it does it all for us? 🤔
