Plot twist: Video is AI generated

[@goreldeeno]

Not gonna be surprised

[@bharath2508]

What? 😮

[@amesdiv]

Am currently using codewhisper and it is as good as copilot even give reference to the generated code

[@SahilP2648]

Copilot X will be better than everything before it. GPT-4 still better than anything else currently.

[@ko-Daegu]

Tire it it’s so bad with me Gonna give it another try maybe I was too early when it was released

[@jonybtw]

is it monthly limited free or just a trial? interested to test it out...

[@jacoL8]

copilot is really good at helping with repetitive tasks... It recognises patterns and saves a lot of time, its not that good at problem-solving tho..

[@snake608]

That's what you are for!

[@stevenlace7902]

I've been using the Bing AI for help with my Rust studies. Handy but not perfect. I like the fact that can keep adding more information to refine its responses. Too bad you're limited to 20 queries.

[@ctronp]

I am using perplexity, it includes gpt 4 too and is a lot better than Bing rn.

[@jonybtw]

it was now increased to 30

[@ManikantaPothuganti]

Omg!! Currently in last episode of modern family and opened shorts, I see this comment 🙃

[@Obsidian_Fang]

so what I recommend to people I work with is when using the AI tools it's best to use it as guideline or to create base code not to entirely rely on it as when they generate incorrect code you still need to understand what's happening within the code.

[@tonyartz]

Amazing video, keep it up, love your work !

[@GabCom888]

I was actually searching today, so good timing !;)

[@suhail984]

Hi Luke, have you tried Replit’s ghostwriter? If yes, what was it like?

[@CattopyTheWeb]

I head about Snyk through John Hammond. And I am using it :)

[@eddymison3527]

"Reduces google searches..." True programmer.

[@timecubed]

I've used chat gpt-3 to generate some functions for me in java like one that maps a percentage value to a value between a minimum and maximum. It's pretty useful

[@MixingSneaX]

GPT-3 is already amazing and GPT-4 is on a whole different league

[@timecubed]

@@MixingSneaX yeah I have no idea how open AI is going to improve upon both of them in gpt5. They haven't said anything about if they're working on gpt5 or not but I'm sure they already are

[@ShortFilmVD]

I've had a go with CoPilot and CodeWhispere, didn't find much use for either. I gather that they can write boilerplate code effectively, but the majority of the code I write these days uses modern frameworks and packages which already abstract away a lot of the work. Neither AI can come up with the business logic yet as they're not trained on problem domains. When I've tried using them I've found that I spend more time correcting the outputs than the time it would have taken me to write the code by hand. Many of the examples I've seen are quite contrived, I'm partly of the notion that if an AI can write it, it's surely already been written, so why are you rewriting it?

[@gigimm168]

I love your content!

[@Jortpower2009-ev8io]

Hey I love your videos and trying I'm to get into game development do you know any good languages for beginners that want to start with game development?

[@HarryDaDevSecond]

I still remember the day when I first tried Co-pilot, what a blessing in disguise. Don't have to waste time anymore, just get the final product & alter what you want!

[@SahilP2648]

Copilot was crap, ChatGPT though is a game changer and Copilot X even more so

[@Atmos_Glitch]

So are we using the terms _"Algorithm"_ and _"AI"_ interchangeably now or what? Because I barely understand both of them individually already.

[@KeesFluitman]

for some basic functionalities i've had a lot of luck with gpt and asking questions about basic knowledge or when i get stuck. But i've been getting a lot of bad suggestions, not working code and worse hallucinating suggestions. Which actually made me slower than trying to write it myself. And im just a beginner.

[@roknovak9991]

I've tried using chat gpt, but it often straight up makes stuff up. It generates code that looks great, but when you look into the documentation half of the methods don't exist.

[@SahilP2648]

That's why you break it down and steer the conversation with more replies. It's called prompt engineering.

[@roknovak9991]

@@SahilP2648 I subsequently pointed out which sections were incorrect, and it got closer to something coherent, but it never quite got to a completely correct result. It did help me by pointing in the right direction, so I knew what to put in my google search queries to find the actual answer.

[@SahilP2648]

@@roknovak9991 it might not provide fully working code but it saves a lot of time depending on what you ask it. I wouldn't want to copy paste code as is unless I want it exactly how I want it to be. Also it can help debug code and explain code or even document code which is amazing. It's quite versatile in what it can do. You just need to ask it properly. Also one tip, unless the function definition or usage is incorrect, don't tell that the code is incorrect if it is actually working. Because you will break the chain and you can't add stuff on top of your previous responses.

[@Golden-Snow]

This shit is gonna be good when i go into computer science! Thx man! appreciate your shorts! :) I do have a question though... do you wear thigh highs as every major programmer?

[@CodingWithLewis]

I find that I am more productive when I wear thigh highs so yes!

[@SahilP2648]

I am more productive and happy in general in my pyjamas and near my blanket and bed

[@studdiougrym5633]

From the SE or SD's that used Co-pilot and Chat-Gpt 3 or 4 what is your impression of them? I personally don't find them as useful outside of generating some boiler plate code for me or a basic starting template. design some UML diagrams for a auctioning system or design some objects for a pet, or customer. Or write some functions for this customer object to allow username or password changes. the starting template was ok, because I would continue to modify it from there. BUT, every time I gave it a slightly more difficult task like place this button on the bottom right corner of the screen or serialize this object to a json file using Jackson or Gson library. it failed miserably. And I had to basically walk it all the way into solving the problem.

[@Andrew-ss7jd]

I find it really useful for small specific tasks, for example I wanted the first letter of every word in a string to be a capital letter, time to work it out on my own would have been probably 10-20 minutes, time to find an example and adapt it to my needs using traditional google searches probably 5-10 minutes vs one prompt and the code is ready to go 1 minute max if you include a quick test case or two to make sure it works.

[@kakembosamueljoash1682]

Great

[@YuckFou0x0FFFF]

The AI coding assistant are there to monitor you while you write code to learn more so it can replace you. All of that plus telemetry data collection in your IDE.

[@yeetskeet691]

Mans listed GPT-3 twice in a row damn

[@OctagonalSquare]

I am making a desktop app right now and wanted to start making it Mac compatible. So I spun up a VM and got my code moved onto it. I kept getting an error that I LITERALLY could not find online. There were two results when searching it or portions of it, and they were just references to the error existing. So I fed my code to ChatGPT, explained that I wrote it on Windows, what it does, that I’m running it on Mac, and that it gives this error. And it got me a solution that got rid of this phantom error. But now I have a different one, which is that a VM doesn’t allow proper access to audio devices, which my app needs so until I get an actual Mac, it’s windows only.

[@prathameshminecraft]

I tried code whisperer once (it was at its very early version) and I nevwr used it again...

[@kinershah464]

Can you do a video on security vulnerability scanner tools/methods for web/mobile apps?

[@kinershah464]

@@________________.. Thanks for the reply. It's good to know there are proprietary tools available. 16K is probably in USD, so definitely expensive. I was wondering if there are any tools (preferably open source) which can be used for personal projects.

Hey Luke, I've recently started learning web development, I'm feeling worried about recent AI-related tech layoffs.

[@randomletters1834]

ChatGPT is actually how I learned much of my coding skills by creating projects with it and learning the basic syntax through youtube videos. However I feel that learning approach does not teach you the problem solving skills needed to be a programmer.

[@Max_G4]

But... Copilot and ChatGPT both use the GPT Model... They just have different parameters and things hidden in the prompts.

[@the_Datana]

talk about codeium

[@1millionresume]

Code will have non public parts as well. Is it safe?

Do the browser phind!

[@vosvodin]

If you know a programming language at intermadiate level, AI makes your level advanced. But if you don't know a programming language well, AI can just help you to learn, the code generated by AI will have no use.

[@Sauvenil]

I feel like AI tools would all fall short for very specific tasks that don't really have any information available for them on the internet. A lot of things I have to do require hours of picking through someone else's code that doesn't have documentation publicly available.

[@studdiougrym5633]

but the tools and libraries and patterns they use do 😉

[@Sauvenil]

@@studdiougrym5633 Not really, but thanks for the vote of confidence anyway! I'm looking at code that doesn't necessarily follow a modern pattern either.

Hah, AI will destroy everyone. Programmers will be replaced first. With more help, and being more productive, companies would need less people, so unemployment will come, and one day a programmer AI will appear, which will fully replace programmers in a month
