I have been trying to use ChatGPT to make a VueJS website (I’m a backend dev). What I have noticed with VueJS specifically is that it has little to no knowledge of the composition API, and when I ask it to help build a component it is pretty good at the scaffolding. The component will generally work; however, it is pretty useless for CSS styling. I probably should try Copilot as I bet that would work better. Also the VS Code integration would be really nice.

Copilot probably wins because it holds more of _your_ code against the desired output. I find ChatGPT is really great at getting something going, think scaffolding wise. But if you enter the realm of gnarly stuff, it can get completely delirious with answers full of red herrings and sends you running in circles very quickly.

  The only truly helpful use-case I’ve found is in generating some well defined text in a different form. Say - here’s a JSON object , please write a MD file describing it or turn it to X language struct/object.

ChatGPT is very bad at CSS. The only good part is you can test it and see that it’s not working very quickly. Unfortunately if you go back to ChatGPT it will waste your time with endless apologies and more broken CSS.

Can you confirm if you used gpt-4? This was not my experience

  It was gpt-3.5 (the free version offered). I will give get-4 a try though that is good to know.

How stable was the Vue composition API prior to the September 2021 training cut-off date for the OpenAI models? Looks to me like https://blog.vuejs.org/posts/vue-2-7-naruto https://blog.vuejs.org/posts/vue-2-7-naruto back-ported it in July of 2022, and the earliest snapshot of the documentation for it in Vue 3 was https://web.archive.org/web/20220210121247/https://vuejs.org/guide/extras/composition-api-faq.html https://web.archive.org/web/20220210121247/https://vuejs.org... in February 2022 - so my guess is it mostly happened after that magic date.
