24.1221 v1 (WIP) (Gdrive)
There is no "intelligence" in AI. And its not "artificial". Its simulated by dumb binary machines. My AI studies for drones and my recent experience with ChatGPT (GPT) and Copilot have only reinforced this opinion. 40 years ago a few programmer friends were rambling on about how the primitive programs they wrote would one day replace human intelligence. Nothing has changed.
But these new AI tools are pure genius. Raising productivity to a new level.
On 24.1220 I completed most of a React tutorial series by Dave Gray #258_(OK-MOSTLY)_react_GRAY_v01_24.1220.docx. Lots of problems starting at ch7.
- Video 1 Introduction to React JS | ReactJS Setup and Resources
- Video 2 React App Component and JSX
- Video 3 React JS Functional Components
- Video 4 CSS Styles in React JS
- Video 5 React Click Events
- Video 6 React useState Hook
- (ERROR) Video 7 (33mins!) React JS Lists and Keys
I think the root problem was that this was a 3+ year old video, and I got some strange React installation errors at the beginning (I was trying to run old-style React with the newest components on my PC that I installed previously; something like that).
Those errors came back to haunt me in ch7. But I was still able to do the gist of videos 12-14 (the API part which was my main interest) with Copilot's help.
- Video 12 JSON Server Rest API | React Dev Server
- Video 13 Fetch Data from API in React JS (BINGO)
- Video 14 React CRUD Operations (BINGO!!)
I was also able to deploy the video 6 code:
- Video 23 BINGO How to deploy a React App to Github Pages and Netlify
Copilot algorithms analyzed my request and the existing code, and told me what to write (based on my code). Amazing. Its like a typing/coding assistant on steriods.
The best thing is that Copilot/GPT provide useful documentation (just like Stackoverflow) for those wanting to know
- how do I implement this?
- what is causing this problem and how do I fix it?
With the typical Alice-in-Wonderland rabbit-hole docs (with all their "resources") I never could have made such progress. Embrace the future. Code completion assistants like GPT/Copilot are the future, the next evolutionary step in programming.
