AI is an exploding field. Lots of stuff is new to us. Many of us are trying things.
I think that it would be interesting if those of us that have experimented would chat in a meeting about their experiences.
I've probably mentioned before how I asked ChatGPT to help me write some SQL that had utterly confounded me (joining 3 tables and aggregating some results). Its answer was correct (use a cross join between two unrelated tables, A & C, then aggregate against table B). I was impressed. The other day I watched a Fireship YouTube channel compare ChatGPT 4 vs Gemini. He fed each some minified JS and the results not just de-minified it, but explained what it did. Nice. Then, he asked "write a poem about JavaScript in the style of Bukowski". ChatGPT gave up and wrote something in the style of a limerick or something. Gemini - wow, that was some very impressive writing! A dark and moody poem about writing JS through the night, full of angst, it seemed pretty spot on from what I remember about Bukowski's writing style. Interesting and advanced rhyming schemes used too. I foresee a lot of use in both creative writing and writing & debugging software. rb
