This is pretty cool. Soon “learn to code” will be “learn to ask chatGPT” (also I look forward to the next climate model being AI)

chatgpt has sped up the rate of me coding/learning coding so immensely, it's significantly *more* efficient than asking any one human being

@CColose

it does make me a *little* sus though? Or rather, before I had to deeply understand why my code was working in order to make it work; now I can just run code without deeply understanding what it's doing, and I could see that leading to greater errors down the line

Yep, maybe same idea w computers that play chess/poker and can beat the best players. They give you a cheat sheet to better answers with no work shown, forcing you to work backwards to develop better understanding of game theory & analysis of assumptions.

I use it to create bits of code ('how do I convert a pandas column of strings from "firstname lastname" to "lastname, firstname"') and it does a great job of that. Occasionally the code doesn't work, but it mostly does. This is something I certainly could do, but it saves time.
