This one is pretty cool, it's a video about defining a prompt that iterates over your prompt requirements, each time asking increasingly more refined questions about your specific goal, in order to ultimately generate a very specific prompt.

People talk about how Chat-GPT won't replace programmers - but this Chat-GPT prompt's behaviour in the video sounds scarily like me in most of my meetings with managers and biz folk. Except Chat-GPT is better at it than me because it's more polite and swears a lot less.
I often use writing to clarify my thinking and effectively "rubber-duck" my analysis. Now I think I'm going to start rubber-ducking my analysis against Chat-GPT.
On the other hand, I made my first attempt at getting GPT-4 to write some react code for me. It made the exact errors I expect any newbie React programmer to make; from using stale state from a variable capture in a hook to forgetting to set the inputRef on the HTML element.
The trippy thing was: each time I told it "no, that's wrong because X" it fixed the code on the first go.
Still, it did get the code right in the end - and this is literally the first time I ever used Chat-GPT or any other AI tool.
On the one hand, I'm looking forward to learning about prompt engineering; on the other, I'll be careful not to get too invested in the minutiae - it definitely smells like a transitional technology.
