Hello! Like many here, I asked my questions to GPT, about codes and others, I was trying to create a facial recognition app, for here at the entrance to my house! At first I found it interesting, many things worked and others didn't, I was trying to solve this and that, and then the question came to me, does gpt understand the functionality of the code now, since its learning was in 2021 for a short period of time and we are in 2023! How did you manage to solve this, when building your code?
My congratulations for the creativity!

Hi! Actually a good point.

I face couple of problems like that.

When I install smth of new version but code was for older version as written with ChatGPT.

I than solve it installing previous version.

Which is not great.

But alternatively need to check the installation online.

Also I wanna start now with GitHub copilot , maybe it gives more fresh recommendations. Do u know?

Hey! You're right, installing a previous version is a "good way out and option to consider!" if it does not conflict with other, more current applications.
I've been looking today for tutorials that help me solve things like that in a more practical way, and from what I've noticed, many opt for virtual machines to solve this! in own dev.to found something, about it! Take a look, maybe this will help you too!

Regarding github co-pilot, I have nothing to tell you, I'm walking that road too! If you get something great, I appreciate it if you can share it with me!
