I tried using ChatGPT just to see how good or bad it might be at writing LiveCode programs.
It looked really cool when it generated the code, and at first I was all excited about it. Upon closer inspection it became clear that it was really bad code. Lots of syntax errors, a bunch of logic errors, and a lot of run-time errors. I spent a couple hours trying to debug it, and finally decided it wasn’t worth my time, as I was having to rewrite a lot of it. My conclusion, ChatGPT won’t be replacing programmers for a very long time. It really was like searching Google without using Google. It seemed to be pulling code snippets from various sources however, so I’m unconvinced that it is just using its own database. It’s probably Ok as a chatbot, but I didn’t try out that functionality, so I can’t say for sure. Just my 2 cents for the day.
