I would love to see when ai would help me to add API, contracts, and ml inputs from just a text prompt. Right now its a cool autocomplete tool)

@oleksandr_koreniuk It's definitely a step up. Also helps in interacting with documentation with chat

@matcha_anil I would like to advice to not use chatgpt to anything other than hinting. Documentation is a strictly constrained set of terms. Since GPt may hallucinate , you could receive false words which may cause undesired consequences in work.

@oleksandr_koreniuk Yes, but ideally it can be prompted not to hallucinate and only answer if it is sure
Oleksandr Koreniuk
@matcha_anil it cannot be “sure” in a human way since it's statistical predictor.

All those GPT apps that write code are going to be facing some stiff competition
