Search the Forum about ChatGPT and it´s crap it produces.
It will not be a lot of help in writing B4X Code.

Do not go by media / blog etc. news. They have to exaggerate all news to make some dough.
ChatGPT does Google (sort of) and give you one of the answer with explanation.
But it need the info of your query on the internet.

B4X resides here, in the Forum. ChatGPT fails miserably here.

That's not my (limited) experience - the article discusses its limitations and suggests using it for subroutines etc not whole projects.

Not so - it knows about B4X - see my example in the code of:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/raw-chatgpt-class-for-b4x.146775/

look for the ParseJson sub.

I've actually found it does basic things very well. Things I would need to google because I can't remember every #@!@ thing.

What every one seems to be saying is "AI will not initially replace your job, but people that can use AI will."
What amazes most is that it understands the question I pose, which can be quite technical and phrased rather badly, and churn out working code.
The code sometimes requires a small tweak here and there, but I wouldn't expect it to be perfect, yet!

You can try https://www.cursor.so/ , it supports js and python, but does not seem to support B4X.

but does not seem to support B4X.

What was your prompt?

What was your prompt?

Bit fast there - just downloaded it - tap the settings icon on top right - there is a good many languages available but not B4X.

I wonder what it would take for B4X to be included?

Erel?

I just did a new post about ChatGPT
Because I'm 'giving' like that.

I've never selected a language from any list. I just say write me vb.net, or c#, B4A code that will ........ What ever I need here ..........
I do however use the openAI website directly to interact with ChatGPT as I found some of the app portals problematic.

This starts simple and becomes seemingly amazing:


although it'd be nice if he compiled and ran the final code in the video, like he did with the preceding examples ?

I too use openAI website directly both on desktop and mobile.
Easier for me to keep track of my queries, as I develop my projects.
