ChatGPT is unreliable - as if we didn't know!

It can edit your book if you
know how to ask.
And, I guess, like search engines - if you get the question wrong you get a pornographic answer in the form of illustrated Adult "literature". ?

This guide contains helpful information on how to prompt properly. The quality of ChatGPT's responses changes drastically based on the quality of the prompt.


Also, I find gpt 4 way better than 3.5, just my opinion based on my experience.

I tried to get GPT to write some simple B4X code for me. It was joke. The biggest issue is it DID NOT learn from its mistakes. It would give me bad code, I would correct it and it would fix the mistake but the minute we went on to correct the next mistake it would correct the second mistake but put the first mistake right back in.

I thought I had the worst short term memory ever but I guess that award goes to chat gpt.

Writing B4X code using ChatGPT is challenging. In my experience, for small tasks it works decent, but I had to "teach" it some basics and correct the mistakes it has made, but most of the time, it would make errors and invent objects that don't exists (very convenient). However, I did find it useful for writing inline Java code or inline Objective-C code. In these contexts, it is very powerful, allowing access to functionalities that would otherwise be inaccessible unless you know a lot of java and/or Objective-C.

I only tried B4x. I fear it needs a lot more training in B4X.

I use chatgpt in French for programming google map Javascript. It is useful when I ask a good question with a lot explanation of what I want to do. But I need to explain often to obtain the results I want. Without chatgpt, my map wasn't looking professional map for sure.

Every now and then I get impressed with the answers an AI returns.

Like today I asked how to use a different programming language in B4J.

The result started by 'I was unable to find an example of using ... in B4J' then the bit that impressed me, it continued 'but it should be possible to use like this'.
It then went on to show how to import and use JavaObject into the inline java code, as well as the required other classes to achieve the working program.

(this was CoPilot btw)
