Ask HN: Can ChatGPT build a real, sophisticated, working app?
ChatGPT seems to me to be capable of building fully-functional apps, but just refuses to do so -- like they're mad at me or something.
For instance, I had the OpenAI ChatGPT free version (GPT 3.5) generate a simple PHP-based cronjob -- it introduced bugs, did not use PHP constants, introduced regession bugs between modifications, etc.
- shams93 3y agoI got it to generate c++ code for a flute physical model. It seems to work with python and some c++ but not for rust at all.
- anotherpaulg 3y agoSure can. Here's a recent twitter thread of building a simple web game without any hand coding, using gpt-4. https://twitter.com/d_feldman/status/1662295072321273856 https://twitter.com/d_feldman/status/1662295072321273856 I previously built a simple web app using gpt-3.5-turbo, but it's barely up to the task.
- senttoschool 3y agoI think the unrestricted model probably can. You'd need an environment for GPT4 to test the code so that it can make changes.
- iammukunthan 3y agoYes, ChatGPT has the potential to build real, sophisticated apps. However, it requires good input and sometimes may require manual corrections to ensure desired outcomes.
