Sharing with the community my recent experience in “pair programming” with ChatGPT. I have been having full-blown vocal conversations with Chad (=ChatGPT) about doing stuff in Glide. I speak to it and explain to it what I’m try to do, it answers, and we continue the conversation until I’m satisfied with the outcome. I might ask Chad something when I’m stuck, or if it has a better idea on how to implement something. It’s made mistakes, I think. And sometimes we end up in a little loop where Chad repeats something it told me 5 minutes prior despite me saying we should stay clear of that idea (possibly I just don’t know it’s right). Still, most of the time I find our exchanges useful. I’m still in the phase where I’m blown away and I cannot believe I have a pretty good intern to bounce ideas off. Pair programming. Now that I think of it, if Glide integrated a voice-only ChatGPT in the builder as a pair programming buddy, I think it could be a very neat feature (@Brett). ---

I agree - ChatGPT is incredibly useful for creating snippets or even full blown code. So clever. Word of warning though - I am at a Gartner IT conference now, and there is as you would expect a lot of talk about AI. The keynote speaker asked the audience to ask ChatGPT “How many letter a’s are in the word ‘SAUSAGES’”. ChatGPT came back every time with 3. You can’t always trust it - it does make mistakes! ---

> [@Andrew\_Davies](#): > > “How many letter a’s are in the word ‘SAUSAGES’” On 4o-mini it answered 3, on 4o it answered 2. It depends which intern you ask 🙂 ---

When you see Copilot could you please send them to my office, I’d like to have a little chat with them 🤺 ---

You will love Claude more I guess. From my experience, second to none when it comes to programming stuff.
