Dude.. thank you so much for this tutorial series. It literally saves me so much time, endless searching and uncomfortable explaining. It's so hard to find good, easy to follow tutorials without much clutter. This is perfect.

[@jamesmilton3317]

Hi David. Thank you for this video. It has been almost 10 years that I don't code anything. And honestly I was never good at it. With your help and Chat GPT, I was to not just implement it, but also understand it. I also upgrade the function to be able to do follow up questions and save the results in JSON file. Maybe this is nothing for very experience programmers, but I take a win every single day. Thank you for the challenge at the end of the video. (Apologies for grammar errors - much appreciation from Brasil).

[@adamdavidlong6858]

"take a win every single day" Love this. @jamesmilton3317 you captured my thoughts exactly.

[@suvendroseal1724]

Loved reading this comment! Hope you're still learning well, would love to hear about your progress now and what use cases are you implementing GPT now?

[@keithinadhd6693]

Did you do this for me? You must have one this for me. Because this is exactly what I need. I hoped at some point you'd do a "for beginners" series. And this is quite relevant to the DM I sent to you on Discord. Thank for the quality content you put out man.

[@DaveShap]

It was actually Ene's idea, but yeah lots of people need it! Glad it helps

[@keithinadhd6693]

That's great. I really did hope that something like this would come about.

[@Sulayman.786]

No, he did it for me, just that you needed it too

[@SpicedFuture]

8:09 100% agree 🙂 Awesome that you still develop it 🙂

[@ene_77]

Great video, will recommend to collegues!

[@elazarshmalo4891]

Really amazing. Thanks so much.

You are an amazing teacher!

Thank you for the tutorial

[@NEWNATURE777]

Thank you for sharing David! Your channel is so underrated 🤔, it's about to encourage the Algo.... with 👍, by the way great contents, got a new sub here 😀

[@TheOGDesigner]

This worked so flawlessly, thanks!! I was learning only through ChatGPT but I missed the little tickbox of adding to path, and you helped me with that. Then I followed the tutorial and it all warked with my "list of purple widely unkown fruits". Thanks!!!

[@bhargavsukumar6024]

iam new to this how to run this program in notepadd++ actually i tried but it show like this python: can't open file 'D:\\pyton programs\\Notepad++\\s(Notepad++)': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Dope keep them coming

This is fantastic!! Thanks for looking out for the noobs like me. Subscribed

[@Katzenha]

Thank you so much! :)

[@heteroclinictangle]

This is fantastic, thanks! The openai demo is very hard to follow, and makes things overly complex with environments etc.

[@greg8461]

Hey, this might sound stupid but can I copy this for mac or will this damage my os? Thank you for the very elaborate and helpful video!

[@rufus9322]

Thank you 🤗

[@motiondesignermx2847]

it works, thanks.

[@angelitaalicia30]

New sub! Thanks for the video!

[@kerrkristie]

Hey there, when i type "git clone" and paste the link, it returns saying is not a Intern comand. First time using pyton(iam not a programer 😅), have never used before. Plis help 🥰

[@genolopez6127]

If you recently installed Git for Windows while a Command Prompt window was open, the issue might be resolved as soon as you reopen Command Prompt🙂

[@aimeepeace8511]

thank you!!!!!!

[@whatdoiknow7836]

I always give up on tutorials, but I made it through this one. VERY EXCITING TIMES.

[@DaveShap]

Nice! What did I do well that helped you?

[@duncansmothers]

@@DaveShap I think it's quick with no fat. And explains every part for non-devs which is really great.

[@mabelsunny5542]

I have learnt more in this video than I have learnt ever 🤣

[@BellaBoston-kj5kf]

hi david. ive been tinkering like crazy and still get the invalid syntax error. any advice? thanks so much for the video btw. feel like im learning a lot

[@SpicedFuture]

it works. Stay with it. Takes 1-2 hours and google helps. But you learn a lot.

[@weirdnewworld1736]

This is amazing, but returned "Invalid header value b" error. If anyone else runs into it, essentially it's appending a line return to the key (checked a million times, there's no line break, something's adding one) To fix, add `.strip(" ")` to this line, like so: openai.api_key = open_file('openaiapikey.txt').strip(" ")

[@vaishnavvasan520]

for cloning it says 'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. what should i do? 5:52

[@humbertodavidramirezramos9453]

me too. What should i do?

[@genolopez6127]

If you recently installed Git for Windows while a Command Prompt window was open, the issue might be resolved as soon as you reopen Command Prompt🙂

[@ShrekLover12369]

@@genolopez6127 THANK YOU!! Relaunching cmd worked when I got the same error!

[@jacobrekawek6563]

Would this work on pycharm ? Cuz i dont seem to get any output and I get a synthax error from the beginning under install

[@DaveShap]

Focus on understanding the basics before jumping into a more complex tool. Solve the problem in front of you rather than changing everything.

[@kaxoxinho]

Hello David, I found out that there is a function already implemented in the library that reads the API from a file in the system: openai.api_key_path = "openaiapikey.txt" Anyways, great tutorial, thank you!

[@DaveShap]

That's helpful I will try it out

[@mta7444]

I just wanna say thank you.... for introducing me to Mongolian Neofolk.

[@DaveShap]

Ha! Eagle eyed, I didn't even notice. Where did you spot it?

[@abeyjoseph4525]

8 Months ago? How?

[@jasjotsingh2945]

Hello Sir, Storing apikey locally is giving error, saying Incorrect key provided. Can u please explain about the format it should be stored

[@mikerussavage4441]

did you get the code to work, what resolves incorrect error

[@simonearnshawuk]

first video I've seen where someone talks sense without going too deep or going off at tangents - I'll stick with you....

[@ryanbthiesant2307]

Hi Dave, Shapiro, I noticed that you’re doing a lot of what I do and that is make statements are relative to you. I know you’re trying to help us. But could you be a little more objective. For example, say how big in gigabytes the downloads are, rather than say it is a quick download. Thanks

[@spicer41282]

Hi David, Love these Beginner Series! Unless I missed it in the DscrptBx? Discord address? didn't see it...
