it's like a huge knowledge base without any ideas. when you state your
intention and ideas, or tell it an example and to find similar themes, then
it's working. I think it can save a lot of time, but you have to be the product
manager, and do the proof-reading. it's verbose and you need to correct it
sometimes because it didn't understand your initial request, or how it would
work. but possibly better prompting skills will do it. Claude knows Nim, and
GPT is not bad as well. (but suffers from refusal syndrom, or gives just tiny
examples) I think a series of prompts that serve as a template might be able to
work in general for creating any library or app. You know there is joy in code.
Don't offload all of it to some AI. you might get bored. but when you want some
academic algorithm implemented so you can use it in your app or lib, that's
quite the use case. It can also do research very nicely. You want a certain
system - define requirements, and it suggests relevant algorithms data
structures etc that are related to the field, a field that you know nothing
about. so it provides a good starting point, resources, overview, etc.
