ChatGPT: OpenAI’s ChatGPT is a long-form AI that can answer complex questions. An intriguing new technology is being trained to comprehend and reply to inquiries from real humans.
The idea that it might one day change how humans interact with computers and find information stems from its ability to respond with human-like responses, which has shocked the entire globe.
Although there have been discussions regarding ChatGPT as a job killer and a terrifying tale of a future without jobs where it eliminates half of humanity, the truth is far more complex. The market will change as it always has with the introduction of new technologies, and those who can take advantage of these developments will stay competitive.
With ChatGPT, developers may increase task efficiency, boost productivity, and reduce mistakes and shortcomings. When used sensibly and effectively, it can help developers improve their skills and operate more creatively within the constraints of their current roles, making them more proficient at what they do.
In this article, we will tell you when a developer can use ChatGPT for his or her benefit.
How can ChatGPT help developers?
Generating Codes
Code generation is perhaps the most exciting—if not the most effective—way that ChatGPT aims to transform the developer experience. ChatGPT can be used as an efficient personal code assistant by translating natural language and coding preferences into executable code.
Since code may be produced with simple command prompts, doing so promises to bring unparalleled efficiency to all code generation. Also, it is now possible to generate code in seconds instead of minutes.
Testing
Programming is a difficult endeavour. It requires more work to debug. The act of actually testing the code comes in between those two. For increased efficiency in the coding process, developers can use ChatGPT to enable prompt-driven or real-time code testing at various points.
For completely customised code testing for that specific context, ChatGPT offers a vast range of recommendations and claims depending on the variables and functions utilised in that specific code. In the debugging and documentation stages that follow, this can be quite beneficial.
Debugging
If you ask any developer what their least favourite aspect of their work is, they will probably place debugging very high on the list. The proverb “An average developer spends hours writing code and days debugging it” is said to apply here.
That might soon change, though, as ChatGPT can be used to debug millions of lines of code to find errors and then retest the debugging process based on any error messages that are received.
Data processing
The future of coding and development in general appears to be driven by machine learning, which is yet another fascinating development. To clean, transfer, and appropriately choose certain datasets for training and testing, ChatGPT can be applied to much more.
Documentation
Because of ChatGPT’s proficiency with natural language processing, it can produce documents that precisely specify the needs. It might save developers a tonne of time, as they often have to invest a great deal of effort in creating thorough documentation for their code.
Disadvantages
1. can give out the wrong code
The chatbot occasionally produces believable-looking code that doesn’t work, which has angered developers. This can happen if you don’t comprehend the user’s requirements or if you can’t think of the right solution and end up lying about it.
2. Gives out outdated code
The chatbot is unaware of the most recent advancements in programming languages and modules as ChatGPT‘s training data expired in September 2021. Because of this, ChatGPT’s code frequently has to make use of antiquated commands, modules, and paradigms.
Moreover, ChatGPT occasionally loses track of the context in which it is operating, which has an impact on code output. According to several users, ChatGPT occasionally loses track of the work at hand and starts producing incompatible code.
3. Cannot solve problems on its own
It is the responsibility of a developer to comprehend the business issue and create unique ways to solve it. ChatGPT and other AI/ML technologies speed up the coding process for developers, but they are not useful for addressing problems or putting software applications into use.
Furthermore, developers are prevented from learning new programming languages and frameworks when they become unduly dependent on code created by AI. This may have long-term negative effects on the organisation that are not immediately apparent.
