How to Use ChatGPT as a Powerful Tool for Programming

[@coreyms]

Hey everybody. I'm trying something new and would like your feedback after the video is uploaded. I get a LOT of comments each day on older videos and it's impossible for me to answer them all. So today, I'm going to try uploading a KZbin premiere for the first time. The only big difference between a premiere and a regular upload is that I'll be able to hop into a live chat with you all during the launch of the video and do my best to answer questions that way (as long as they're not coming in too quickly). I'll never schedule these premieres far in advance because personally, as a person who watches a lot of KZbin myself, I hate waiting once the premiere is announced. So I'll always schedule these just a few hours before the video is live so that the wait isn't too long. I do this with regular uploads as well because I like to make sure the video is fully processed and that there are no issues. Sooo long story short, I would love your feedback after the video launches today and to let me know if you enjoyed it better than a normal upload, if you were indifferent, or if you weren't a fan of the premiere style.

[@astrobiological7058]

Love this format, makes you more "reachable". Is there a chance on asynchronous python? Thanks a lot, love your stuff man.

[@dnamcknight]

Welcome back King.

[@silkogelman]

Planning premieres a bit more in advance has the benefit that people can plan it into their schedule so that you’ll get more questions during that moment vs afterwards. I often see premieres as something I look forward to, but I get your feelings regarding the wait time too. “I want it all and I want it now.” 🎶 I like both regular publishing as well as premieres. Premieres feel a bit more connected sometimes (but not when chat is super busy) and interaction through comments can feel personal (and not). 😅

[@SairMack]

Super-cool you are back Corey 👊

[@trespasserontheloose]

Welcome back @Corey Schafer

[@geshoow1288]

What an absolute flex having ChatGPT recommend you as the top KZbin Python resource. It ain't wrong!

[@stephenriedinger7809]

It's great to have you back, Corey!!! The reason that you're at the top of that list is because the information you provide is clear, concise, accurate, and complete. You not only state what to do, but WHY to do it and give examples of what happens when you DON'T do it. One thing that I would enjoy seeing is how you and other developers use documentation. It's a subject that isn't covered well (at least I haven't seen it covered) other than to say check the docs. As an amateur, I will tell you that "the docs" are usually confusing, and so far above my level that they're not helpful.

[@nothingnewatall]

It just took me straight 5 years back when I heard “Hey there, how’s it going everybody” such a nostalgic moment! Super Excited to have you back Corey!

[@advaithhl]

Corey, you have no idea how I missed your videos! I've referred your channel to so many people now that I've kinda lost count. The clear and precise method by which you teach things is unparalleled not just on KZbin, but even in other MOOC platforms. Great to have you back!

[@subhransu91]

Hey Corey, I virtually learnt Python and about virtual environments going through your tutorials. You have no idea how much I religiously have watched and asked my teammates and friends to watch your tutorials to learn about Python. I could be an advanced Python programmer thanks to you and your tutorials. You have my gratitude forever.

[@donner7708]

This is exactly how I used ChatGPT to ramp up in my job. The issue I was having is needing to learn NSIS, which is really old with no good resources available other than the documentation, which is extremely confusing considering this was my first low level language that I had to really delve into. Having something that can explain to me what does what, and break down the code I give it to teach me what it does exactly is extremely powerful.

[@Nickle314]

One thing I periodically do, is to give ChatGPT a class. It then replies with what the class does. Now ask it to critique the class and make suggestions. You can then review them to see if you've missed anything, or if it has any good ideas. For a solo programmer, you can use it as a form of code review. If you are a team programmer, you can go into a code review prepared.

[@gustavojuantorena]

Nice use case

[@brothercaleb]

Yeah… great idea there

[@GBM0311]

Unless your organization has an api instance, be careful about inputting proprietary information. OpenAI may use the data you submit as training data. Your organization may have policies against that.

[@Phasma6969]

@@GBM0311 Not with the API. Any professional should be using the API, or to opt out of all training in data controls in settings. If your organisation is large enough, I believe OpenAI may provide private instances for GPT.

[@gJonii]

I found GPT-4 is fairly bad when it comes to giving constructive criticism. It can explain what a class does but critique it offers tends to be very soft and vague. With humans, you can expect some personal views, "I like this because of X but I don't like Y", but in essence, ChatGPT only says "I don't like Y" if everyone in the world agrees Y is bad, meaning, it only gives the shallowest and most obvious criticism and anything even slightly opinionated, it just won't touch. I haven't found any ways to prompt engineer my way around this either. Even if you feed GPT a criticism as an example of how to critique thingr, GPT-4 just repeats your example and says "otherwise, everything is fine". GPT-4 just won't critique things.

[@michealnd969]

Corey is back, my favourite KZbin tutor. God bless you Man

[@pkn8707]

@Corey Schafer, the only thing I can say is I'm excited for your premiere even more than Mission Impossible and Fast X. Have been waiting for your video for so long. Great to have you back. And the way you share knowledge with so high quality videos, is really commendable. Your git videos had helped me a lot, man. God bless you!!

[@tanned_cosines_]

more than MI? hmmm maybe because 7th installment was anticipated.

[@TheCouncellor7]

Normal or Premium it's just good to have you back Corey, man Python is not the same without your tutorial, welcome back kind sir, awesome tutorial by the way, I use ChatGPT to save on research and stackflow etc, a huge time saver

[@sophiophile]

When it comes to things like: * really complicated, multi-level list/dictionary comprehension * refactoring inefficient embedded loops to use stacks/queues * example cases for packages/modules that I haven't used yet but have really poor documentation I usually just hop on ChatGPT and it saves a lot of time.

[@brianevans4]

Very nice. As a developer, I've found it's helped me to understand unix scripts written by colleagues. It's great at explaining what all the random flags mean

[@wartem]

Key points from the video include: 1. Writing Code from Scratch: ChatGPT can generate Python code based on user prompts. 2. Optimizing Existing Code: The AI can suggest improvements for existing code. 3. Explaining Code: ChatGPT can provide detailed explanations of complex code snippets. 4. Converting Code Between Languages: The AI can convert code from one language to another. 5. Writing Unit Tests: ChatGPT can generate unit tests for existing code. 6. Adding Comments and Documentation: The AI can add comments and documentation to existing code. 7. Starting New Projects: ChatGPT can help start new projects by generating initial code. 8. Concerns About AI Replacing Developers: The presenter argues that AI tools will not replace developers, but will be a tool that enhances their productivity. 9. Best Resources for Learning Python: The AI provides a list of resources for learning Python on KZbin. (Generation of time stamps failed, using VoxScript)

[@gabrielleboudreau1370]

Hey Corey, First off, big fan of your channel! Your tutorials have been incredibly helpful in my programming journey. 😄 I wanted to toss an idea into the ring - have you ever considered creating a video series on machine learning with Python? Given your knack for explaining complex topics in an approachable way, I believe a series like this could be a game-changer for so many of us trying to dive into the world of machine learning. Your ability to break down concepts and guide us through practical examples is something that's truly unique. Covering topics like data cleaning, supervised learning, neural networks, and model evaluation in your signature style would be amazing! I know your schedule is packed, but I truly think a machine learning series on your channel would be a huge hit. Regardless, keep up the fantastic work - your content has been a real asset to the community. Looking forward to your future videos!

[@mikhails2883]

As always, concise and highly informative! Thank you, Corey!

[@ArtemKabylinskiy]

Thanks for the great video! Glad you came back, Corey. Btw ChatGPT obviously gave the right list answering your last question ;D Wish we will see more of your tutorials soon

[@senaps]

it's always good to see a video from you. I used these prompts to get a code that would validate a string as email: write a python code that matches email address add tests using pytest for it add docstring and annotations to the code the end code looks pretty much useable in a potential production environment! :) so good stuff...

[@senaps]

I asked it to add logging and metrics to the code, and good stuff was added there too

[@hardlight8743]

[@yorkshireplumbing]

It has helped me about 50% of the time. Asking it to produce something more specialised like a docker compose for a specific image and environment, it's not very good at, or once I asked it how to remove a 'mailed by' email header with PHPMailer script, it gave the correct code, but missed a very important space which I had to track down, and the code was useless without it. But in that case, it sort of did play the role of a co-worker, where together we eventually solved the problem.

[@SwingingInTheHood]

You mentioned that ChatGPT *could* replace StackOverflow at 31:07. You say we're almost there. Well, I'm here to tell you that I have been there for over 3 months now. Not having to deal with the rude and condescending moderators at StackOverflow and Drupal Answers anymore? Priceless.

Corey is back 😎, I missed your videos! , I got job at IBM python developer your video helped me a lot

[@elghark]

I've been preparing my first youtube channel and I'm really scared about this. I'm not a "fortune-seeker", just happy if able to do something useful for me and others. Just for giving me a bit of hope considering my life situation. I did almost everything (codes,projects,studied Davinci Resolve for editing etc.) but what scares me the most is showing my life to others. It seems that "a face" is the most necessary step for getting views,subscribers etc etc. Even now, in the middle of the "A.I no-face videos" trend. But everytime I'm overhelmed by this, I remember Corey and his channel: my very first "mentor", the one and only guy I come back to everytime and I feel much better. You mate, you are the proof that a straight,clear,competent approach and job pays much more than any other "fancy" stuff. I know that there will always be ONE Corey "case" but that's enough for me. Thanks for everything you did so far Corey!
