So, of course, ChatGPT essentially started this entire new AI revolution in late 2022.
And of course, you can also use ChatGPT for coding tasks.
I mean, right now, at the point of time where I'm recording this, it even prompts me to
ask it about code to help me write a function or debug some code, for example.
And there also are different ChatGPT versions, including versions that are focused on writing
and improving code, though I will say right away that, of course, this dropdown, its content
and the versions available and the features they support will definitely change over time.
What I'm saying is just, of course, ChatGPT can help you write code.
You can, for example, say, write me a Python function that opens and reads a file and stores
the content in another file.
If you wanted to do something like that, you could ask ChatGPT and it will very likely
give you some working code that you could run.
And you can, of course, also ask it how to run that code.
And it would then tell you that you need Python and so on.
Now, you can do all that.
But as mentioned before, this is rarely what I do as a developer, at least because it's
much more convenient to use AI right from inside the code editor with tools like GitHub
Copilot, GitHub Copilot Chat or the Cursor IDE.
And of course, it's also important to understand that in the end, GitHub Copilot and the Cursor
IDE do also just use kind of the same AI models as ChatGPT in the browser behind the scenes.
So that's, of course, also worth noting.
Nonetheless, it's more convenient to access that AI from right inside the tools.
Nonetheless, there are certain situations where using ChatGPT or Cloud from inside the
browser as a normal AI chatbot can be useful.
