I’m with you. I searched for “my ideas” and chatgpt said there was nothing in their “database” yet. I don’t even like searching for fear that that is not my property but theirs to use. We can’t be alone as that is what they are trying to do is mine human language – thought – ideas – and take it all for themselves.

I think they went with that example precisely because of its simplicity of linking two websites that anybody anywhere knows of.
If this were math then he 2+2’d us and we all knew the components in the equation & went, it’s 4. But the subtext I took away from this was, “well how about we use their product & think in algebraic. Use our own variables, go crazy & solve for your own person “X”.

take a basic python class so you understand the fundamentals. should take a week or two. Then take you great idea and ask chat GPT to break down the steps to make it. Then attempt each step and have chat GPT help you with each step and coach you through each step.

Could anyone imagine a world without deception and treachery??? A level playing field for all, providing an indispensable solution for mankind’s failure at being honest with each other not to mention the cost savings in legal issues and so many other shortcomings.
Not to mention the profits, not one person would do without, instead of profiting from the despair of others, doing a lot of good for this world..

No. Like self driving, this is such hyperbolic self-publicist drivel.
Apart from the fact that AI like chatGPT is theft. And often wrong. And incomplete. And censored.
Apart from coding being a skill that takes years to learn, far beyond just the syntax etc.
Apart from ideas needing strong interaction between humans (not AI, and never will be).
So just marketing drivel.

@japethstevens8473

All very ideal, but the semantics of building an application are unchanged, as evidenced by the screen shots at 5:26. The big difference is that you now have a co-pilot who does a lot of the design and coding. (Using AI in this way is a particular form of pair programming.) You still have to provide the high level concepts and architecture (which is not the same as the basic idea), AND you must also check the code. AI code generators tend to hallucinate and can provide incorrect syntax, non-existent function calls, and even misunderstand instructions. Non-programmers can not build these types of sophisticated solutions. Also, incorporating Google libraries into your solution is not free.

In comparison to AppSheet and Power App, I enjoyed the flexibility Replit could offer.❤ Love it! Thank you very much!
