ChatGPT & Github copilot - upgrade for your Wappler stack?

As probably none of you have missed, these AI tools are getting better and better.
It’s making me wonder how to use them together with Wappler. As they generate code.
So the only use cases I can see far are:

  1. Front-end (html/css/javascript)
  2. Helping you come up with the logic to solve a problem, and then you ‘translate’ the answer to Wappler code

How are you using it in practice? or are you seeing other opportunities?

I tried :sweat_smile:

I don’t think those tools are good for generating code yet. The code their produce is usually very simple sample code.

What they are good for is content generation, translations, grammar and Q&A

We will be investigating how to make more closer AI integration in Wappler in the coming months. A very talented software development student from the local university will be doing a graduation research for us on the AI topic in Wappler. So we hope to add cool AI things in the next half year :grinning:

This is also an interesting discussion:

I’m so lazy.
Wappler 6

Prompt: “Wappler, please make a cutting edge app that utilizes the best-in-practice techniques in your toolkit to make ordering of pharmaceuticals as an AI enhanced logistical process for a small chain of 30 pharmacies. I’m willing to wait a few seconds if absolutely needed.”

I know @Apple is sometimes using it for generating code. Do you agree with this statement @Apple?

I do agree it’s been great for marketing purposes at the current point, and have a feeling it’s starting to become viable for coding.

That’s great! I look forward to seeing you guys break my prejudices that (Dutch) graduation internships don’t get utilised by the company in the end :wink:

I’m using GitHub Copilot regularly, mainly for non-Wappler stuff - it’s like having a junior/intern developer at your side :slight_smile:

It can “learn” from context, so in theory you could give it some Wappler JSON examples with comments and maybe it could generate Wappler steps, but that’s something for the Wappler team to tinker with :wink:

I’m already seeing reports of AI alerts being passed along because people have created scripts in python, for instance, that are very serviceable as malware with just a little knowledgeable tweaking.

Now the major shifts begin –

And just the predictable social upheaval (a tiny sliver of the massive iceberg under the water) has already arrived –

Good luck with that. There is s Spanish proverb that says: “you can’t close off the countryside behind doors”.

When an AI is able to write essays it just means that the educational system needs to be reformed. Same happened when calculators where invented. Some stupid and dumb idiots thought we would forget how to calculate things if we stopped resolving them with our brains. Guess what…we built an AI that write essays with calculators.

So you are not old enough to compare what happened when a whole new generation “solved” math problems with calculators all the time?

We got millions of grown people who still don’t RECOGNIZE when the “math doesn’t add up”.

AI has grown exponentially with a Capital E.
No “reform” will be possible to close that educational system gap with mere human brains in 2023 or the future. :nerd_face:

Copilot was actually built by OpenAI as well using their Codex application. It seems that it is part of ChatGPT as well now.
