00:00:09,344 --> 00:00:12,438
Hi, I'm Laura,
an instructor here at Treehouse.

3
00:00:12,438 --> 00:00:17,414
In this video we're going to explore
the incredible capabilities of ChatGPT

4
00:00:17,414 --> 00:00:19,337
in the world of programming.

5
00:00:19,337 --> 00:00:24,119
We'll dive into the ChatGPT website,
discover its functionalities, and

6
00:00:24,119 --> 00:00:26,969
witness how it can assist
us as programmers.

7
00:00:26,969 --> 00:00:32,078
Get ready to unlock the power of AI and
take your coding skills to the next level.

8
00:00:32,078 --> 00:00:33,668
Let's get started.

9
00:00:33,668 --> 00:00:37,386
If you're unsure of what ChatGPT is,
or even AI,

10
00:00:37,386 --> 00:00:41,911
I recommend watching our What is AI,
What is ChatGPT video.

11
00:00:41,911 --> 00:00:43,693
There's a link to it below.

12
00:00:43,693 --> 00:00:49,147
To get started, open up your browser and
head on over to the ChatGPT website.

13
00:00:49,147 --> 00:00:51,658
You can find a link to it below.

14
00:00:51,658 --> 00:00:57,720
Log in with your OpenAI account or click
the sign up button to create an account.

15
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,875
Now that we're on the ChatGPT website,
let's see what ChatGPT is capable of.

16
00:01:02,875 --> 00:01:07,925
We'll start by asking ChatGPT,
what are some things you can do?

17
00:01:14,871 --> 00:01:19,059
As you can see ChatGPT can do
more than just answer questions.

18
00:01:19,059 --> 00:01:22,844
It can generate text, translate language,

19
00:01:22,844 --> 00:01:27,635
assistant writing,
provide explanations, and more.

20
00:01:27,635 --> 00:01:30,988
You'll be surprised by
the depth of its knowledge and

21
00:01:30,988 --> 00:01:33,455
the natural flow of the conversation.

22
00:01:33,455 --> 00:01:38,418
Now let's dive deeper into what it
can offer to us as programmers.

23
00:01:38,418 --> 00:01:43,104
As programmers, we often encounter
challenges that require assistance and

24
00:01:43,104 --> 00:01:43,832
guidance.

25
00:01:43,832 --> 00:01:47,990
ChatGPT can be a valuable
companion in such situations.

26
00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:54,441
Let's ask ChatGPT, I'm a programmer, what
are some things you can do to assist me?

27
00:01:58,837 --> 00:02:02,712
ChatGPT offers us a wide range of support.

28
00:02:02,712 --> 00:02:06,774
It can provide code assistance,
error debugging,

29
00:02:06,774 --> 00:02:11,771
code review, and provide guidance for
best practice and more.

30
00:02:11,771 --> 00:02:16,023
Let's explore some of the ways it can
assist us in our programming journey.

31
00:02:16,023 --> 00:02:22,433
When faced with complex code or concepts,
we can turn to ChatGPT for explanations.

32
00:02:22,433 --> 00:02:26,325
It can help us understand
the underlying principles and

33
00:02:26,325 --> 00:02:29,814
provide insights to
enhance our understanding.

34
00:02:29,814 --> 00:02:30,779
For example,

35
00:02:30,779 --> 00:02:36,175
I want to understand this code snippet
from the how to install Python workshop.

36
00:02:36,175 --> 00:02:41,045
If you just send ChatGPT the code
with no context, it does give you

37
00:02:41,045 --> 00:02:46,362
a small description of the function and
how the function would run, but

38
00:02:46,362 --> 00:02:51,604
I'm a beginner in Python and
don't understand any of the syntax yet.

39
00:02:51,604 --> 00:02:55,907
To improve ChatGPT's response,
we'll provide it more information.

40
00:02:55,907 --> 00:02:59,903
When sending a message, I found that the
results come out better when you pretend

41
00:02:59,903 --> 00:03:01,735
you're talking to another person.

42
00:03:01,735 --> 00:03:04,642
So I'll type, I'm a beginner in Python.

43
00:03:04,642 --> 00:03:09,434
Can you explain the code line by line and
point out any syntax?

44
00:03:14,203 --> 00:03:17,368
Now this explains
the function much better.

45
00:03:17,368 --> 00:03:21,167
Sometimes we need a fresh pair
of eyes to review our code.

46
00:03:21,167 --> 00:03:25,325
ChatGPT can act as a code reviewer,
suggesting improvements and

47
00:03:25,325 --> 00:03:30,326
adding valuable comments to enhance
the quality and readability of our code.

48
00:03:30,326 --> 00:03:33,714
Let's ask ChatGPT,
how would you improve this code?

49
00:03:39,482 --> 00:03:42,356
It's recommending some input validation,

50
00:03:42,356 --> 00:03:47,204
separating our function to improve
code modularity, and handling error.

51
00:03:47,204 --> 00:03:51,109
It even provided us with
an updated version of our code.

52
00:03:51,109 --> 00:03:54,977
But it doesn't look like
ChatGPT accounted for

53
00:03:54,977 --> 00:03:58,851
different capitalization
like it suggested.

54
00:03:58,851 --> 00:04:02,369
While ChatGPT is an incredible tool for
programmers,

55
00:04:02,369 --> 00:04:05,511
it's important to
recognize its limitations.

56
00:04:05,511 --> 00:04:10,368
Occasionally, it might generate
incorrect or incomplete answers.

57
00:04:10,368 --> 00:04:14,173
In such cases,
you can politely indicate the issue and

58
00:04:14,173 --> 00:04:17,329
ask for clarification or
a better solution.

59
00:04:17,329 --> 00:04:23,356
Additionally, remember that ChatGPT may
not always have real-time information or

60
00:04:23,356 --> 00:04:26,627
access to specific libraries or
frameworks.

61
00:04:26,627 --> 00:04:31,371
Let's indicate to ChatGPT that it didn't
account for different capitalizations.

62
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,489
Great, it recognized its mistake and
provided us with the improved code.

63
00:04:40,489 --> 00:04:45,630
Debugging can be a challenging process,
but with ChatGPT we can see guidance and

64
00:04:45,630 --> 00:04:48,663
identifying and
resolving issues in our code.

65
00:04:48,663 --> 00:04:52,166
It can provide us with suggestions,
strategies, and

66
00:04:52,166 --> 00:04:55,223
alternative approaches
to tackle those bugs.

67
00:04:55,223 --> 00:04:59,243
In a project I'm working on,
I'm getting this error in the console.

68
00:04:59,243 --> 00:05:03,185
Let's test out ChatGPT debugging skills.

69
00:05:03,185 --> 00:05:10,045
I'm gonna ask ChatGPT, I'm getting this
error in my code, what does it mean?

70
00:05:10,045 --> 00:05:10,787
How can I fix it?

71
00:05:15,220 --> 00:05:19,155
Awesome, it just let me know
what my error stands for and

72
00:05:19,155 --> 00:05:21,600
how to resolve my issue, thanks.

73
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,130
Chat GPT's assistance goes beyond
code explanation and debugging.

74
00:05:26,130 --> 00:05:29,893
It can also provide us with
ready-to-use code snippets and

75
00:05:29,893 --> 00:05:33,813
offer advice on how to approach
our next programming project.

76
00:05:33,813 --> 00:05:38,642
Whether it's a specific algorithm
implementation, a utility function,

77
00:05:38,642 --> 00:05:40,604
or a common programming task,

78
00:05:40,604 --> 00:05:44,383
ChatGPT can generate code
snippets tailored to our needs.

79
00:05:44,383 --> 00:05:49,611
It saves us time and serves as a helpful
resource in our coding endeavors.

80
00:05:49,611 --> 00:05:51,428
Let's give this a try.

81
00:05:51,428 --> 00:05:58,759
I'll ask ChatGPT to write me an HTML page
that contains a big red circular button.

82
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:02,760
Inside the button should be the text,
Do Not Touch.

83
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,792
When the mouse hovers over the button,
the button should immediately disappear.

84
00:06:11,586 --> 00:06:15,536
I'll copy the HTML over and
run it in the browser.

85
00:06:15,536 --> 00:06:17,498
Wow, it did it perfectly.

86
00:06:17,498 --> 00:06:19,055
Why don't you give it a try?

87
00:06:19,055 --> 00:06:24,205
Ask ChatGPT to create a function
to help you in your next project.

88
00:06:24,205 --> 00:06:29,201
Another fantastic feature of ChatGPT
is its ability to offer project

89
00:06:29,201 --> 00:06:31,278
suggestions and guidance.

90
00:06:31,278 --> 00:06:35,911
Let's ask ChatGPT for
inspiration on what we should build next.

91
00:06:35,911 --> 00:06:39,484
What are some beginner friendly
apps I can build using JavaScript?

92
00:06:45,111 --> 00:06:47,819
Fantastic, ChatGPT has provided us

93
00:06:47,819 --> 00:06:52,373
with a list of beginner friendly
app ideas using JavaScript.

94
00:06:52,373 --> 00:06:56,545
Now, let's dive deeper into option 4,
as it's caught my attention.

95
00:06:56,545 --> 00:06:59,792
We'll ask ChatGPT for further guidance,

96
00:06:59,792 --> 00:07:03,408
I really like option 4,
how can I get started?

97
00:07:03,408 --> 00:07:05,438
Can you give me a step by step guide?

98
00:07:10,917 --> 00:07:16,498
Great, ChatGPT has given us a step by
step guide to get started on option 4.

99
00:07:16,498 --> 00:07:19,589
Now here's where ChatGPT shines even more.

100
00:07:19,589 --> 00:07:22,139
You can ask it to break down each step or

101
00:07:22,139 --> 00:07:25,341
help you with any specific
part of the process.

102
00:07:25,341 --> 00:07:30,883
It's like having your own personal
coding buddy by your side at all times.

103
00:07:30,883 --> 00:07:32,150
And there you have it.

104
00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:38,223
We've explored the incredible capabilities
