Every developer in today’s world has made contact with at least one form of artificial intelligence (AI) on the internet. Among the AI tools, Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformers (ChatGPT) stands out and is currently the most popular AI tool right now.
ChatGPT is simply a chat buddy that gives answers to questions. However, this AI cannot give you detailed solutions to challenges you might encounter in your day-to-day job as a developer if you do not input the human aspect of critical thinking into your questions.
Many developers are not aware of this and slowly erode their critical thinking skills through the continuous use of this AI tool.
For example, if a developer creates a full-stack e-commerce web application using code snippets and guides from chatGPT, it is mentally more challenging to get the same developer to design a Unified Modelling Language (UML) for the same web app compared to someone who never consulted the AI chatbot during the process of development.
Developers can avoid this by;
- Read and understand every line of code copied from chatGPT rather than copying, pasting, and moving on to another part of the code s long as it works.
Break down every inquiry on chatGPT to the tiniest detail to have a full grasp of what each part of the code does.
Write down every process that gave rise to each inquiry on chatGPT and the line of code generated.
Try these and you’ll be grateful you did
