ChatGPT will remake software development — here’s how The biggest story in tech right now isn’t massive layoffs… it’s ChatGPT (and Bard, but really… ChatGPT). Will it take all of our jobs? Maybe. Probably not. Hopefully not. Will we end up like Neo in the Matrix? I highly doubt it. But what it absolutely will do? Upend the software development industry like almost nothing we’ve seen before — AI and generative chatbots like ChatGPT are going to change the whole game.
Spoiler alert: things are about to get real interesting.
1) Rapid Prototyping and Code Generation One of the most time-consuming aspects of software development is writing code. But what if you could simply describe the functionality you need, and a chatbot could generate the code for you? That’s precisely what ChatGPT is working on achieving. Imagine just typing something like, “Create a registration form with name, email, and password fields,” and boom – the chatbot generates the code in seconds. In his release video for ChatGPT’s new model, GPT-4, OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman drew a rudimentary website concept on a napkin, fed the image to GPT-4… and it spit out working code to turn that napkin drawing into a reality?
