I Paired Programmed with ChatGPT using Test-Driven Development

I've solved a Code Kata while pair programming with ChatGPT GPT-4 on a Test-Driven Development (TDD) session.

I believe it is because the navigator did an excellent job of directing (using) chatGPT. Meaning, it is also in the user how well they know their craft. But that is indeed amazing demo of the crazy capabilities of the GPT.

This is both impressive and scary at the same time. As you said, it's starting to do things beyond what you've requested. Imaging if the military ask it to eliminate an enemy position without giving it the exact restrictions, it could kill it's handler too if it somehow sees them as an obstacle to achieving the final outcome.

From what I've seen it works really well so long as the focus is very narrow so unit testing should be a great fit.

I didn't like that it tried to setup the other Roman numeral mappings without prompting but it is impressive that it recognised the pattern.

I think the downside of using AI in code though is the risk of trading readable code in favour of optimisation.

Awesome video. However, this isn't actually Pair Programming. Do you know of a tool/prompt that would create the dual pair programming roles and enable switching?

Nice video, sometimes it is simple when you are on the beginning. But how about pair programming with chatgpt on an already developed giant project?
