These AI chatbots can also be very helpful for general research tasks.
For example, again, if I'm building a REST API with Node.js and Express, I could wonder
how I can implement authentication and which different options I have.
So I could ask, which options do I have for implementing authentication in this app?
Like this.
And then I might get more options than the standard approach of using JWT, which might
still be the approach I wanna use or take, but I learn about alternatives I could use
and what makes up these alternatives and why they would be worth considering.
For example, that I could use a third-party authentication service instead of rolling
my own authentication.
Now it's of course obviously still up to you which approach you then wanna take or
use, but using chatGPT and so on for research can be very helpful of course.
You could alternatively also do a Google search, but by using an AI chatbot, you get
a nice summary instead of having to go through results on your own.
Of course though, as always, when using AI, you should be aware that these AI models can
hallucinate, they can present you wrong information, and you should always keep that in mind when
evaluating the responses you get back from these AI models and services.
