What are you doing with LLM chatbots (ChatGPT, Claude, etc)?
« on: July 18, 2024, 03:31:02 PM »
I've found that taking anything I write and dropping it into Claude with the prompt:

"Edit this for grammar, flow and clarity:"

Yields really good results. Then as a last step after one or two iterations with the above, "Check this for grammar and spelling."

Other than that, I'm still not really doing anything with these tools.

Are you using them to jumpstart coding? Anyone paying for pro versions to get the latest models?

Incidentally, these systems draw multiple megawatts to run, not counting the massive energy to train them and yet in most respects they do not equal the human brain which runs on 120 watts when it's working full out.

I use ChatGPT all the time.  I use it for grammar, punctuation and spelling checks on stuff I right.  It really is an outstanding tool for dyslexic people.  I don't mean to be dramatic, but it's kind of the equivalent of an electric wheel chair for my type of neurodivergence. I hardly ever send out an email without giving it to ChatGPT first.  I also use it for simple coding tasks that just save a ton of time.  For instance, the other day I had to convert some bash into python and to embed a little subroutine  and instead of spending a couple of hours on that I gave it to ChatGPT and it was done in 15 seconds.

I'm not using it yet.

Some of the develops in the Hubitat forum have used it to write device driver code.

I’m using the PHPstorm editor with integrated AI. Not sure which AI.

It helps me refactor code. Automatically sugests the next line of code. It is a huge help when use new frameworks of libraries.

AI increases my productivity and the quality of my code

>> PHPStorm

As I was winding down coding, it seemed like PHPStorm was pulling away from other IDEs, but I never switched. That sounds pretty amazing though.

>>  done in 15 seconds.

My few experiments resulted in perfectly functional, readable code in seconds.

I wonder what the apprenticeship/junior developer/junior editor path looks like these days. Does the senior editor/developer just tell the junior editor/developer to feed it into some LLM and see what comes out?
