This is the most useful video I've seen about ChatGPT in regards to development. Instead of instantly going into "freakout" mode like most other KZbinrs desperate for views, Brad sat with it for awhile, got to know it, and figured out it's limits and most practical use-cases. Thanks for being one of the good ones Brad. It's a struggle finding good resources in this age of fear-inducing clickbait.

[@TraversyMedia]

Thanks friend. I don’t like the clickbait myself. I also have no interest in creating it. I have a passion for long form educational content, which may not get as many views these days, but the quality of fanbase I have is top tier.

[@duztv5370]

@ghost mall fireship is really really annoying. He has driven this whole a.i thing to the ground and most of the time creating fear in the mind of the viewers. This vid by Brad is exactly how it should be done.

[@synen]

@@duztv5370 Let them create fear, same demand less supply.

[@memoryhaunter1951]

​@@TraversyMedia love u brad for the content

[@yingcheng1589]

​@@TraversyMedia"they just jumped onto the bandwagon and dont even really know what they are talking about" hahaha I love you man!:)

[@curtmantle7486]

So refreshing to get a practical, laid back and non-hyped overview.

[@benfrese3573]

^ this 100%

[@badziobw]

Brad feeling like a boss when chat gpt recommends his fetch API video as no 1 :)

[@duztv5370]

Hahahahahaha 😂😂😂.

[@sylvesterokpala4075]

He chuckled 😂😂

[@vasudevareddy6749]

Lol, chatGPT is intelligent enough to recognize you and recommends as the No.1

[@ricardocnn]

Brad was our ChatGTP for so many years... Tuned the way he is he will put more emphasis on the concepts now I hope.

[@DendrocnideMoroides]

what is ChatGTP?

[@aingaran_com]

Just like all of your other videos, to the point without any fluff AND incredibly useful!

[@gyaneshwarsah3079]

Generating sample data is indeed a timesaver. I didn’t think of it LOL. Thanks brad! Great video ❤

[@TraversyMedia]

Yeah, doing courses, it is something I have had t do a lot of. Huge time saver

[@RD-jr8nv]

Dude, the first point in how to structure your learning is already more useful than any chatgpt video out there. Great stuff man!

[@erikbaer4472]

I always knew Brad is taking his time, so he is really sure what he is talking about and creates real value with his contribution to the topic. Haven't even watched the video yet, but this man earned my trust over many elevating years. Always coming though with the real use cases! Good to have you around, Brad.

[@redhinkle]

So cool. I use this at my job (which I got thanks to you, Brad!) and it also helps with communicating with non-technical staff. My boss asked me to explain technical errors to her "like I'm 5 years old", so I've written prompts like "explain React/PHP/etc. to me like I'm a child" and have gotten pretty good responses to help explain complex things in laymen's terms. Thanks again Brad!

[@benfrese3573]

Hey Brad! In the flood of ChatGPT videos out there, this one was actually useful! A lot of great inspiration and I already got some solid feedback on a VPS hardening bash script :) All the best and thanks for your hard work.

[@davidgallivan5615]

Great video, very helpful. One additional use I have been doing is using ChatGPT to fix performance issues on an old code base that was written in a language I have not used in 20 years. First time, it fixed a call that was taking over 3 minutes to run in 30 seconds. I had to find the bad code, but it gave me the solution.

[@maxivy]

When I first interacted with ChatGPT, I thought of my first coding teacher, Brad, and knew that with the right attitude and know-how it could simply enhance my progress as a developer. Thank you Brad for being such a great teacher all these years, and it makes me happy to know you don’t have to worry about being hit by AI.

[@ytamb01]

I'm doing a ChatGPT demo to developers next week. I didn't know what to put in it after introducing the basic concepts of how LLM works at a basic level. But now I do. Thanks very much for providing good practical examples from a developer perspective.

[@elechigeorge6675]

Thanks you so much Brad, much love ❤ your resources have always been top notch and very helpful

[@samferrer]

This is a very good video ... down to earth. ChatGPT has paved the way for many around the world ... ... and as an old schoold programmer, I feel lucky to experience these amazing times ...

[@user-ml1yv5ek1u]

Creating document with just repo URL was a new one for me and is going to be quite useful to me. Thanks, Brad! You rock!

[@my5cents4u]

You are by far the best tutor I have run across! THANK YOU for the work you are doing! ✌

[@HtopSkills]

This is a great video tutorial that can help developers make better use of their time ! Great job.

[@colarey]

The course we have all been waiting for! Love you Brad !

[@aayush135]

It's amazing how you figured out the very helpful use cases of ChatGPT.

[@uiuxengineer]

Amazing! Thanks for the course! ✨

[@MrMikomi]

I was (have been) sceptical of ChatGPT's uses for developers, but I watched the video to the end, my eyes are now more open now and I am impressed. I'm a BE (Java) dev myself so I now need to investigate the possibilities with respect to Java and the other languages, frameworks and tools that I use. But this is a great starter. Many thanks.

[@toheebajayi1454]

Brad, I always trust you and you’ve never betrayed my trust. Thank you and keep up the good work

[@henrikkurschner2700]

Just wanted to say thank you for being here and coming back mate, i was a moment worried for not having seen you a while :)

[@OmotayoMichael-rm8ir]

Mr.Brad is such a huge blessing to us .❤

[@despo224]

This is why I didn't hesitate to buy the Javascript course even though I have two from udemy. Brad is definitely the best teacher and knowledge dispenser online. Things like this and the practical guide really gives you encouragement that things are possible and there are ways to do it.

[@nomad100hd]

I have a couple of Brad's Udemy course and he constantly demonstrates things that are bad practice. He also never responds to questions.

[@johnrobertsguitar]

Very useful. I'm been using ChatGPT daily and this video has helped me see how to use it better. Thank you

[@jennifershen4273]

Practical, informative and mind-opening like always. Thanks for sharing!

[@randyrips]

Brad, thank you for creating a video that’s actually useful for developers regarding use cases for ChatGPT.🤙

[@CHRISCANHAMC4NH4M]

This has been a very helpful video. I have been tinkering with ChatGPT for a couple of months and like the use cases Brad presents :)

[@geppettosoftware6356]

Brad you mentioned how this can impact your business during this video - I am using chatGpt side by side with your Css Grid Crash Course - you know what? you have nothing to worry about! What chatGpt did was allow me to reinforce what you were saying in the video by allowing me to "search" for various aspect of the properties that you where introducing during the video. In the past I would have used Google and had to sort through all the results, not now!- short version Google has a bigger issue than you - please keep doing what your doing it has helped me tremendously and clearly many others! Thank You

[@faisalalhoqani6151]

Great demonstration, dear Traversy, about ChatGPT use cases. And keep it up, dear Traversy.

[@birkhoffkirikou4350]

Thanks for showing me how to use this tool efficiently and effectively without whirling in circles.

[@NewtonJR1987]

Thank you so much, Brad. Amazing job.

[@andreea34]

With all the hype and fearmongering going around lately about AI, my attitude toward ChatGPT was mostly one of reluctance 😒 and frustration 😤, because it just seems to be yet another tool/skill I that have to learn to use in order to stay relevant as a front-end designer/developer. But this crash course really changed my mind, because it's the first time I see ChatGPT used in a practical way, with examples of how it can be applied to real web dev/des scenarios (and beyond). I'm feeling seriously excited 🤩 about using it now, especially for generating responsive media queries and making UI code more accessible. (MIND==BLOWN)==TRUE. 🤯 Cheers for this brilliant content Brad.

[@ichiroutakashima4503]

Thanks to Brad, I can finally add this to my resume. - Can work with AI assisted workflow.

[@webstylepress]

Always good to see you, Brad. Very useful video, like always.

[@gebreigziabherabadi6655]

Most useful video on ChatGPT! Insightful and practical use cases for developers. Clear explanations and useful demonstrations.

[@edgarlezana7399]

What an excellent explanation! Thank you so much!

[@DC-xt1ry]

Another of many awesome courses! Thx for sharing !

[@alexlegoG]

Really helpful video! Thank you very much for making it! I was a bit skeptical about using chatGPT before, but now I can see its benefits in terms of programming productivity.

[@adriennemarie1]

That was really good! Thought provoking! cheers :)

[@bodasandeepkumar4234]

What an insightful video on ChatGPT. Love you brad ❤

[@Mikael97]

Great tutorial, keep up the good work my friend!

[@MojaveHigh]

Excellent ideas! I use a few of these techniques, but creating test data and brainstorming are great uses I'll add to my list. I'd love to see some more in depth usage and/or a short complete work flow. Also, sometimes it's helpful to give ChatGPT a role to play right at the beginning: You are a Python expert, you know how to use streaming APIs, etc. Although, sometimes it replies with "As a large language model, I am already a ..." - makes me laugh.

[@Bejli7]

Super informative video, especially the documentation and the sample data parts.

[@arnelarnaldo7376]

I'm glad Brad's video on Fetch API Introduction is included as one of the "good KZbin videos." :-)

[@BryonMondok]

Excellent stuff, Brad! I appreciate your work so much. I'd love to buy you coffee sometime when I'm down your way in Boston.

[@osuolaleabdullahi9121]

Best video on chatGPT so far, thanks Brad

[@Yahve]

Thank you for your clean discipline!

[@shahriarkabir9733]

So far the best video on practical uses of chatgpt 👍

[@palevell]

This was great! I used this with the Python OpenAI package and was able to get it to add a hamburger menu, It looks like ChatGPT has gotten better at producing UIs in the last week.

[@nomadicsoul2349]

Thank you sir. I was expecting this one.

[@budexlexxy9319]

U were my ChatGPT for HTML and the DOM for many months b4 it came out !!!!!!

[@likandokayombo]

Even ChatGTP knows Traversy Media is the best on KZbin

[@jdickson1234]

Wow thanks. Great practical advice.

[@laplace777]

Great video, the same perspective that I follow really. I had hardly figured out to generate the left off code with "continue and complete the rest of the code" statement :) your promt is better..

[@r.d.machinery3749]

Excellent. I like the documentation use case the best.

[@yevgenylevin8381]

Awesome Brad ) as usual great stuff 😊

[@zambiancoder]

I have always loved your content!

[@Tony-ee3nm]

Thanks for this information Brad

[@mattcramer9187]

Great video, thanks for this!

[@nasossoulis9495]

Super great video! THNX!

[@mohammadsadegh]

Thank you. AI & ChatGPT are amazing

[@hudsonsilvaoliveira5674]

Awesome video as always, Brad. Your content is my go to method to know new technologies and dive into the ones I'm really interested in. But, aside from work, I'm a huge fan of Minecraft too, playing since 2014. Did you ever thought about making some content, livestreamings or whatnot? I bet you could be one of the best red stone teachers out there.

[@NBGdeki]

Very cool, thanks Brad!

[@TheMetalMag]

Thanks again for a real interesting videos, as you say people tak a lot and so I didn't want to use it as it sounds like bad behavior .Glad you can and want to help us comprehend the real use of it.

[@mohcinelayati7765]

I found that the most helpful and motivated community for learners with the best leader is Brad comments section in all of his videos ❤

[@aleksandrmisnov]

Amazing video! Thank you Brad. I would also agree that this is by far the most useful video, now instead of being depressed about not having enough time to write unit tests I can ask to get them generated. Also what helped a lot is the understanding how it can be useful instead of usual - oh it will take our jobs.. :) I guess for people who spent countless hours learning to be good developers, chat GPT might be scary because it will give an opportunity to someone less qualified to be relatively good much faster then it was in the past. Really liked the layout bit. I also prefer to concentrate on JavaScript rather than css..

[@radu9150]

🎉🎉🎉great job Brad

[@AzraiHasan]

Thank you, Brad!

[@ibrahimali9564]

Thanks a lot for the Video!

[@sj1997]

amazing sir i respect your honesty its an amazing tool idk why so much hate for chatgpt it is a revolution im learning 100x faster now

[@Ibenyeugbala]

I think you can just tell chatGPT "continue" and it takes off immediately where it left off... Great video as always Trav

[@khalidelgazzar]

Great video 👍 thank you

[@caseyspaulding]

Thanks Brad!

[@njorogekiratu2427]

Thank you Brad.

[@benarcher372]

Thank you so much!

[@dinub8414]

Good content, Brad, as always. One thing to consider though: chatgpt cannot access any particular URL . The moment you pass the URL to your repo, it hallucinates the DOCs based on context. I suppose it can do it because your repo is referenced in other places and chatgpt can use what has been said/written about that repo. It may have been trained on Github data as such. But it definitely does not access the current contents at the given URL.

[@kevinmcfarlane2752]

Bing Chat will do that. Plus Perplexity and Phind. Though the reliability is not great.

[@user-nf2jd9wj6v]

​@@kevinmcfarlane2752 To be fair, the reference here is to the ChatGPT web interface directly, which would be incorrect to suggest. But I think none of those tools are an actual answer to this premise either. Providing a link will have it read only the content from that link. If all the code is there, beautiful. But more often than not, it's spread out through multiple folders. Perplexity claims it can search through other pages of a domain, but I've yet to see an accurate answer from a domain search in topics that don't easily appear from a Google Search.

[@alghamdiaag]

big job, thank you

[@muhammedozalp]

Thank you bro

[@Ramikelesli]

Great Video and illustration ,Regarding no 10,the question it self reflect your knowledge, the response match part of knowledge ,I wish of you create a full video in journey to create ui or a journey to create laravel package,Thank you a lot.

[@ashleytshumba4763]

Very practical use cases 👍

[@nasa_manasa]

Boostup. I'm using chatGPT for JavaScript algorithms. Thank you Man!

[@Salah-YT]

thank u so much I got 5 of them so thank u 🙂

[@champorado2131]

Yes I use it for seed data!

[@majukanumi9639]

well done as usual

[@EnzoAuditore]

Thank you for this.

[@farorasyid1832]

thank you for this 🥰

[@bijayagiri5746]

JavaScript Fetch API tutorial by Traversy Media....came at first while I was using Chat GPT as well. and that's awesome. ;) ...

[@ktb1381]

If you're going to spring for plus, I suggest to use GPT4 as much as possible because it produces better results. Definitely fewer hallucinations!

[@sayemalmahdi6691]

Thanks Brad

[@troygooden2525]

I love working with ChatGPT for professional development. One thing I will say tho is if you are working with a company be careful because NDA's will not allow you to place their code into these AI chat environments. If anything, use the code produced for inspiration on working it into your codebase.

[@lakshanperera9735]

thank you for the content

[@bentoth4324]

I haven't written a comment header since I first started playing with ChatGPT... I mean I didn't write 'em before either but that turned out to be a genius move in hindsight

[@acs2777]

Hope to see videos like this with c# and mern stack

[@sarahmattar]

This is amazing! Thank you for this, Brad. As you have done with many many other topics on this channel, you've made it understandable and practical for the viewer. 🙌🏻

[@jamessullenriot]

It's my favorite pair programmer. I used it for a project I was working on and what it did was help me get "unstuck". Times where I would have bailed out and came back later I was able to plow through and it worked great. The best part, I didn't go to stack overflow and go there very little anymore so don't have to deal with the tech bro culture of "why would you ask that, don't you know someone asked that question 2 years ago?". What I have been using more lately though is Bing chat, which is essentially chatgpt. I was never a Microsoft fan, but I've since moved to Edge and use bing. Google just seems so outdated and bland right now. One thing, beginner devs still need to learn fundamentals or else it will be a mess. I tried doing my taxes with this in front of my brother in law who is an accountant that runs his own firm. Long story short, he did my taxes and my return is a lot bigger than what I was getting with gpt because I'm not an accountant and I was starting from scratch.

[@stephendaly8025]

Great video, please keep these chatgpt videos coming!

[@jkuhl2492]

ChatGPT has been a life saver. My job at work has had me working with ActiveDirectory in C#. I know nothing about AD. ChatGPT gave me a few good places to start with.
