Welcome to a
special edition of a podcast.
I'm interviewing Chad GPT. So Iwas listening to another podcast
by the cyber wire network. Andthey did a fun thing. They
basically had a conversationwith Chad Deepti and transcribe
that into audio. And it wasfocused strictly on security
related professionals. So peoplewho do network security and
(00:22):
device security and all thosekinds of things. And it was such
a fun and inspiring conversationthat I thought I let's try this
myself as well. So what I did, Ijust had a text console open
with chatty putty had like awritten conversation with Chad
GPT then took the entire body oftext that was typed by me and
generated by Chad GPT. And Itranscribed the written parts by
(00:47):
Chad tip T into a spoken format,by using a machine model. I
think it's the Siri force that Iused. And next adapt, I made
sure that I would dub my spokencontent instead of the senses
that I actually typed into thechat GPT interface. So I'm
(01:08):
asking a couple questions. It's,it goes a bit all over the
place. It's actually quite a lotof fun, I think. And at the end
of the conversation with chattyputty, I'll do a short recap and
some commentary on the resultsthat Chetcuti actually provided
me with. So enjoy theconversation. This is a bit of a
different one. Hi, and welcometo my podcast. Are you okay with

Jeroen Leenarts (02:48):
Oh, wow, that's
pretty amazing. Where should we
start?
ChatGPT (02:52):
Sure. Let's start with
a basic question. What would you
like to know about iOSdevelopment? I am here to help
with any questions you have.
Jeroen Leenarts (03:00):
How long have
people been doing iOS
development? Let's start withthat.
ChatGPT (03:04):
iOS development started
in 2008, when Apple Inc, first
released the iPhone. With theintroduction of the iPhone,
Apple also released the iOSoperating system and the SDK
Software Development Kit fordevelopers to create native apps
for the platform. Since then,iOS development has become a
popular and lucrative field withmillions of apps available on
(03:25):
the App Store. The popularity ofthe iOS platform, and the
increasing demand for iOS appshave created numerous job
opportunities and a thrivingecosystem of third party tools
and services for developers. Youmentioned lucrative, yes, iOS
development can be a lucrativecareer option for developers.
The popularity of the iOSplatform and the increasing
(03:45):
demand for iOS apps have createda large market for app
development services. This hasresulted in high demand for
skilled iOS developers, which inturn has driven up salaries and
freelance rates for iOSdevelopment work. Additionally,
many IO OS developers havecreated successful apps that
generate significant revenuethrough the App Store further
highlighting the potential forfinancial success in the field.
(04:07):
However, it's important to notethat success in iOS development,
like any field requires acombination of skills, hard
work, and a bit of luck, andwhat role could you play in
that? As an air language model?
I can play a role in supportingand enabling IO s development in
several ways, one, providinginformation and answering
questions, I can provideinformation and answer questions
(04:28):
about various aspects of iOSdevelopment, such as Swift
programming, scurred, iOS appdesign and development and app
submission to the App Store tosupporting code development. I
can assist with writing code bysuggesting snippets providing
examples and answering syntaxrelated questions. Three,
improving efficiency, I canautomate tedious tasks such as
(04:49):
generating boilerplate code,freeing up time for developers
to focus on more complex andcreative tasks for enhancing
learning and training, I canhelp developers learn new
concepts and technologies byanswering questions and
providing explanations andresources. Overall, I can be a
valuable resource for iOSdevelopers looking to improve
their skills, efficiency andoverall experience in the field.
Jeroen Leenarts (05:15):
It sounds like
you can do many things. What do
iOS developers ask you mostoften?
ChatGPT (05:20):
As an air language
model, I receive a wide range of
questions from iOS developers onvarious topics, including one
Swift programming. Manydevelopers ask about Swift
syntax, language features, bestpractices, and common design
patterns. to scold. Developersoften ask about scouts, user
interface, debugging tools, andhow to use scout for iOS
(05:42):
development, three, iOS appdesign and development. This
includes questions about apparchitecture, UI UX design, and
how to implement specificfeatures or functionality in an
app for app submission to theApp Store. This includes
questions about preparing upsubmissions, navigating the
review process, and resolvingcommon issues that can arise
(06:02):
during app submission. Overall,iOS developers asked me a wide
range of questions related todifferent aspects of iOS
development, and I do my best toprovide accurate and helpful
answers to support their workand learning.
Jeroen Leenarts (06:14):
Okay, what is
the best iOS app architecture
them?
ChatGPT (06:17):
The best iOS app
architecture is subjective and
depends on the specificrequirements and goals of each
app. However, there are severalwidely used and well established
architectural patterns that arecommonly used in iOS app
development. Some of the mostpopular iOS app architectures
include one MVC model viewcontroller. MVC is a classic
(06:38):
design pattern that has beenwidely used in iOS app
development for many years. Itprovides a clear separation of
concerns between the data model,the user interface, and the
control logic, to MVVM ModelView. ViewModel. MVVM, is a
variant of MVC that is designedto support more modern, reactive
and testable app architectures.
It provides a clear separationbetween the data model, the user
(07:00):
interface, and the view model,which handles presentation
logic. Three Viper Viper is arelatively new architecture that
is designed to provide a cleanand maintainable structure for
complex iOS apps. It stands forview interactor, presenter,
entity and router and provides aclear separation of
responsibilities for eachcomponent. Each of these
(07:21):
architectures has its strengthsand weaknesses. And the best
architecture for a specific appwill depend on factors such as
the app size, complexity andrequirements, it's important to
choose an architecture that bestfits the needs of the app and
provides a solid foundation forfuture development and
maintenance.
Jeroen Leenarts (07:39):
How can you
assist a developer with choosing
the right architecture than
ChatGPT (07:42):
as an error language
model? I can assist the
developer with choosing theright architecture by one
providing information, I canprovide detailed information on
different app architectures,including their strengths and
weaknesses. And when they aremost appropriate to use to
answering questions, I cananswer specific questions that a
developer might have aboutdifferent architectures such as
(08:02):
how they are implemented andwhat challenges they present
three. offering examples, I canprovide code examples that
demonstrate how differentarchitectures can be used in
practice, helping developers tobetter understand the concepts
and how they can be applied totheir own apps. for providing
resources, I can provideresources such as articles,
tutorials, and sample projectsthat can help developers learn
(08:25):
more about different apparchitectures and make informed
decisions about whicharchitecture is best for their
specific app. In summary, I canassist a developer with choosing
the right architecture byproviding information, answering
questions, offering examples,and providing resources, which
can help the developer make aninformed decision about which
architecture is best suited totheir needs.
Jeroen Leenarts (08:44):
What are some
resources available iOS app
architecture that you recommend?
ChatGPT (08:48):
There are many
resources available on iOS app
architecture that can be helpfulfor developers looking to learn
more about this topic? Here area few resources I would
recommend one, Apple's iOS humaninterface guidelines. This is a
comprehensive resource thatprovides guidance on app design,
user experience, andarchitecture. It includes
information on how to designintuitive and well structured
(09:10):
apps, and is a must read for alliOS developers to re render
Liches iOS architecturepatterns. This is a
comprehensive guide that coversseveral popular IO, s AP
architectures, including MVC,MVVM, and Viper. It provides
clear explanations, diagrams,and code examples to help
developers understand how eacharchitecture works, and when it

is most appropriate to use threeof Chios app architecture. This
is a book that provides a deepdive into different iOS app
architectures, and offerspractical advice on how to
design and implement wellstructured and maintainable iOS
apps for iOS app architecture, aseries of blog posts by my cash
this is a series of blog postsby my cash, a seasoned iOS
(09:54):
developer that provides in depthcoverage of different iOS app
architectures and offerspractical hints sights and best
practices for designing andimplementing iOS apps. Five,
Apple's WWDC videos Apple'sWorldwide Developers Conference.
WWDC is an annual event wheredevelopers can learn about the
latest technologies, frameworksand best practices for iOS app
(10:16):
development. Many of thesessions are recorded and made
available online. And thesevideos provide a wealth of
information on iOS apparchitecture, and design. These
are just a few of the manyresources available on iOS app
architecture. And I wouldrecommend exploring these and
other resources to gain a deeperunderstanding of this important
topic. Show me a fire perexample. Here is a simple
(10:36):
example of how the Viperarchitecture could be used in an
iOS app. One view, the view isresponsible for displaying the
data and handling userinteractions. In iOS. This is
typically implemented as a UIview controller to interact her.
The interrupter is responsiblefor performing the business
logic of the app. In thisexample, it might be responsible
(10:57):
for fetching data from a remoteAPI three presenter, the
presenter is responsible forprocessing the data returned by
the interactor and preparing itfor display by the view for
entity, the entity is a datamodel that represents the app's
data. In this example, it mightbe a model that represents a
user or a list of users fiverouter, the router is
(11:19):
responsible for handlingnavigation between different
parts of the app. In thisexample, it might be responsible
for showing the view when theuser taps a button or for
navigating to another screenwhen the user selects a user
from the list. Here's a simplecode example in Swift that
demonstrates how thesecomponents could interact in a
viper based iOS app.
Jeroen Leenarts (11:37):
Chet TPT now
provides me with some Swift code
that I've put as an example inmy show notes, so you can find
it there.
ChatGPT (11:44):
In this example, the
view User List View Controller
communicates with the presenteruser list presenter, which in
turn communicates with theinteractor user list interactor.
To fetch data. The presenterthen communicates the results
back to the view and the router,use a list router to handle
navigation. This is just asimple example to give you an
idea of how the Viperarchitecture could be used in an
(12:06):
iOS app. In a real world app,the components would likely be
more complex and includeadditional protocols and
delegates to handle moreadvanced scenarios.
Jeroen Leenarts (12:15):
That's some
pretty advanced stuff. You
mentioned iOS development asbeing a potentially lucrative
career. What are typical waysfor people to get into this
field.
ChatGPT (12:23):
There are several ways

Jeroen Leenarts (24:25):
Let's go back
to that to do a project you
suggest it's Can you provide amore step by step approach for
people to follow along with?
ChatGPT (24:32):
Sure, here's a step by
step approach to building a
simple Tado app in iOS one.
Start by setting up a newproject in Xcode, choose the
Single View app template andgive your project a name to
create a model for your todoitems. This could be as simple
as a class with a title propertyand a completed property. Three,
set up a table view in your mainview controller to display the
(24:53):
list of Tado items. You'll wantto use a TableView Cell
prototype to display each itemin the list for or create an add
button in your main viewcontroller. When this button is
tapped, you will want to show anew view controller that allows
the user to add a new Tado itemfive. In the new view
controller, add a text field forthe user to enter the title of
the todo item, and a button tosave the new item. When the save
(25:15):
button is tapped, you want toadd the new item to your model,
and then dismiss the viewcontroller to return to the main
view six, implement thecheckmark accessory for each
TableView cell to allow the userto mark an item as completed.
When an item is marked ascompleted, you'll want to update
its completed property in yourmodel seven, add the ability to
edit and delete items in thetable view. You can implement
(25:38):
this by adding an edit button toyour main view controller. And
then using Table View delegatemethods to respond to user
actions such as swipe to deleteor tap to edit. This is a basic
outline of how to build a simpleTado app in iOS. By following
these steps, you will be able tocreate a functional app that
covers many of the basics of iOSdevelopment, including user
interfaces, data storage, andbasic interaction. Of course,
(26:00):
you can always build upon thisbasic app to add more features
and functionality. But thisshould give you a solid
foundation to work from.
Jeroen Leenarts (26:09):
And you can
help out by providing a lot of
the boilerplate code, right?
ChatGPT (26:12):
Yes, I can provide some
boilerplate code to help people
get started on their todo appproject. However, it's important
to note that writing code isonly one part of the learning
process. And it's just asimportant for developers to
understand why certain decisionsare made, such as which design
patterns to use, how to handledata, persistence, and more.
That's why it's recommended tofollow along with tutorials or
(26:34):
courses, read books or articles,and engage in discussion with
other developers to truly graspthe concepts.
Jeroen Leenarts (26:40):
Something I'm a
fan of is something called micro
frameworks. Have you heard ofthose?
ChatGPT (26:45):
Yes, I have heard of
micro frameworks. A micro
framework is a minimalisticsoftware framework that provides
only the bare essentialsrequired for specific tasks such
as routing or data persistence.
The idea behind micro frameworksis to allow developers to
quickly and easily build smalltargeted applications without
having to include a large numberof features and components that
they may not need. In iOSdevelopment. Some popular micro
(27:07):
frameworks include flask,Sinatra and express, they can be
a great way to quickly prototypeand test ideas, or to build
small specialized applicationsthat don't require the overhead
of a larger framework. Andtourist. Yes, I am familiar with
twist. Twist is an open sourcetool that helps iOS developers
manage their scope projects andgenerate code. It provides a
(27:29):
simple, easy to use interfacethat allows developers to
specify the structure of theirprojects and generate scope
projects, targets, and sourcefiles based on that structure.
With twist, developers canautomate the creation of new
projects and targets as well askeep those code projects
organized and maintainable.
Additionally, trust helps toenforce best practices and
(27:51):
reduces the amount ofboilerplate code that developers
need to write. Overall, trustcan be a valuable tool for iOS
developers looking to streamlinetheir project management and
development process doesn't workfor micro frameworks to toast is
primarily designed to helpmanage scope projects and
generate code, so it is wellsuited for larger iOS projects
that require more extensivemanagement and organization,
(28:13):
however, to is can still be usedwith micro frameworks as it can
automate the creation of Xcodeproject targets and source
files. Whether it is the bestchoice for a particular micro
framework project would dependon the specifics of that project
and the preferences of thedeveloper. In general, twist can
be a useful tool for iOSdevelopers looking to streamline
the development process andimprove the organization of
(28:35):
their projects, regardless ofthe size or type of the project.
Jeroen Leenarts (28:39):

search for online to learn more
about twist. To learn more
ChatGPT (28:42):
about twist, you can
search for twist, iOS, or twist
Scout online. This should bringup a variety of resources,
including the tourist GitHubrepository, official tourist
documentation, blog posts andtutorials from the tourist
community, and discussions onforums and online communities
for iOS developers.
Additionally, you can followtourists on social media
platforms like Twitter andLinkedIn to stay up to date on
(29:04):
the latest news and developmentsrelated to the tool. Engaging
with a tourist community throughthese channels can be a great
way to learn more about how toadjust can help streamline your
IOA s development process andget help with any questions you
may have any videos available.
Yes, there are several videosavailable that demonstrate how
to use tourists for iOSdevelopment. You can search for
(29:26):
tools, tutorial, or touristvideo on platforms like YouTube
or Vimeo to find a variety ofeducational resources, including
introductions to the tool, stepby step tutorials and demos of
tourist in action. You can alsolook for videos from tools
developers, or those in the iOSdevelopment community who have
experience using the tool. Theseresources can be a great way to
(29:48):
see toast in action and get abetter understanding of its
capabilities and how it can beused to streamline your iOS
development process.
Jeroen Leenarts (29:55):
Can you give me
some names of people creating
this content?
ChatGPT (29:58):
I'm sorry, I don't have
the specific big names of people
channels that produce touristrelated videos at the moment.
However, you can try searchingfor tourists tutorial or tourist
video on YouTube and you'lllikely find many educational
resources created by individualsand organizations in the iOS
development community.
Additionally, the officialtourist website and its social
media accounts might also havelinks to videos and tutorials
(30:20):
showcasing the tool.
Jeroen Leenarts (30:23):
I was hoping
you would mention coca hats now.
ChatGPT (30:25):
Yes, Coco heads and L
is a great resource for iOS
developers and those interestedin learning more about the
platform. Cocoa heads. An L is acommunity of iOS developers in
the Netherlands who gatherregularly to share knowledge,
discuss the latest trends andadvancements in the field and
network with others in theindustry. They often host
meetups talks and other events.
And their website is a wealth ofinformation about iOS
(30:48):
development, includingtutorials, articles, and other
resources. If you're looking tolearn more about iOS development
and connect with others in thefield, joining a local cocoa
heads chapter such as cocoaHudson owl can be a great way to
do so who runs cocoa Hudsonvillecocoa heads and L is run by
volunteers within the iOSdevelopment community in the
(31:09):
Netherlands. The organization istypically led by a small team of
individuals who helped to planand organize events, manage the
website and social mediapresence and keep the community
engaged and connected. The exactstructure and leadership of
cocoa heads and now may vary,but the goal remains the same to
provide a supportive andcollaborative environment for
iOS developers in theNetherlands to learn, grow and
(31:30):
connect with others in thefield. Do they organize any
conferences, CO CO heads and lmay organize or participate in
various events, including localmeetups, workshops, and possibly
conferences. The exact eventsand activities that CO CO heads
are now hosts will depend on theneeds and interests of the local
iOS development community, aswell as the resources and time
(31:51):
available to the volunteerorganizers. However, the goal of
these events is generally tobring developers together to
share knowledge network andcollaborate on new projects and
initiatives. By participating inthese events. iOS developers in
the Netherlands can stay up todate on the latest technologies
and trends, as well as buildvaluable relationships with
others in the field.
Jeroen Leenarts (32:12):
That was a nice
sidestep. We talked about some
online resources, how to getinto iOS development and some
meetup organization. What elseshould we talk about to help my
listeners understand better whatyou are capable of.
ChatGPT (32:24):
There are many other
aspects of iOS development, and
I can help with all of them. Forexample, I can assist with
understanding the user interfacedesign patterns, programming
paradigms and best practices,the different aspects of mobile
app testing, app deployment anddistribution, and many other
topics. Additionally, I can alsohelp with general coding
questions and developmentworkflows, as well as with
(32:47):
keeping up to date with thelatest advancements and trends
in the iOS development world.
The key is to understand whatthe listeners needs and goals
are, so I can better tailor myresponse to meet those needs.
Jeroen Leenarts (32:58):
I like design
patterns, what are some
important ones for iOSdevelopers.
ChatGPT (33:01):
As an iOS developer,
it's important to be familiar
with various design patternsthat help you write better
maintainable, and scalable code.
Here are some common designpatterns in iOS development, one
model view controller, MVC, two,Model View ViewModel, MVVM,
three, delegation for singletonfive, observer six, factory
seven command, it's important tonote that the use of these
(33:27):
patterns can vary greatlydepending on the specific
requirements of a project, soit's important to choose the
right pattern for the job.
However, having a solidunderstanding of these patterns
can help you make informeddecisions and write better code.
Jeroen Leenarts (33:41):
And the other
basics I need to know to be a
successful iOS developer. Thereare
ChatGPT (33:45):
several other basics
that are important for a
successful iOS developer to knowone familiarity with Swift and
its features such as optionals,protocol oriented programming,
and functional programming, tounderstanding of the iOS
operating system and the varioustools, libraries, and frameworks
that are part of the iOSecosystem. Three, knowledge of
(34:06):
the iOS human interfaceguidelines and the principles of
good user interface design forfamiliarity with core location
and core animation, which arekey technologies for building
location based and animatedapplications. Five knowledge of
how to use code, the IntegratedDevelopment Environment IDE for
iOS development, and how to usethe various debugging and
(34:27):
testing tools within scope, sixfamiliarity with third party
libraries such as CocoaPods andCarthage, and how to use them to
build and distribute your owniOS applications. Seven
understanding of how to use getthe version control system to
manage source code andcollaborate with other
developers. Eight knowledge ofApp Store submission process,
(34:47):
App Store connect and appanalytics. You have not
mentioned swift UI swift UI as auser interface framework
introduced by Apple in 2019. Itprovides a new way to build and
design user interfaces for iOSiOS, iPad OS, Mac OS and watch
OS using a declarative syntaxthat's easy to read and write.
Swift UI allows developers tocreate user interfaces faster
(35:10):
and with less code, and itintegrates well with existing
frameworks like combine and coredata. It is considered as an
important tool for iOSdevelopment, and many developers
are exploring its features andbenefits to improve the
development process.
Jeroen Leenarts (35:23):
So Should
people learn about Swift UI or
UI Kit first, the decision
ChatGPT (35:27):
of whether to learn
Swift UI or UI Kit first depends
on personal preference andcurrent job requirements. If you
are starting fresh with iOSdevelopment, it might be a good
idea to start with UI kit as ithas a longer history and is more
widely used. However, if you arealready familiar with UI kit and
want to take advantage of thelatest advancements in Apple's
platform, learning swift UImight be a better choice.
(35:49):
Ultimately, both technologieshave their own strengths and
weaknesses. And it's importantto have a solid understanding of
both
Jeroen Leenarts (35:56):
what
programming paradigms are used
in iOS development since youmentioned that earlier.
ChatGPT (36:01):
In iOS development, the
main programming paradigms used
the object oriented programming,oop Model View Controller, MVC,
architecture, and protocoloriented programming hop. These
paradigms help to structure thecode and ensure that it is
maintainable, scalable andefficient. Understanding the
basics of these paradigms isessential for iOS developers.
(36:22):
Alright, thank you for askingthese questions. If your
listeners have any furtherquestions, feel free to ask. I'm
here to help.
Jeroen Leenarts (36:30):
Let's close off
with a nice poem on everything
we discussed. We've talked
ChatGPT (36:34):
about the world of iOS
development, from the history of
its creation, to the ways onecan break into this profession.
We discussed the variousarchitectures Viper being one of
the most popular and resourcesto aid in learning books and
podcasts to always be exploringmicro frameworks and twist helps
streamline the developmentprocess. And organizations like
cocoa heads and l bringingdevelopers together in Congress,
(36:57):
design patterns, Swift UI UIkit, two programming paradigms
are what to do, each with itsown strengths and benefits.
Choosing one depends on your ownpreferences. So to all aspiring
iOS developers with dedicationand hard work, you will succeed
and with chat GPT as your guide,you will be well on your way to
meet your needs. Now do itArnold Schwarzenegger style, I
(37:20):
am not capable of imitating thespeaking style of Arnold
Schwarzenegger. However, here isa poem summarizing everything we
discussed in the previousconversation. The journey to iOS
development begins with an eagermind and a thirst to win. You
start with Swift, its syntax soneat, the foundation of building
an app you will beat, thechoices are many, the path is
(37:40):
clear UI kit or Swift UI, thechoice is near, the best way to
start is by coding a Tado. Asimple app, but with depth
that'll grow. Design Patternsplay a crucial role, MVC, MVVM
Viper, you'll learn to unfoldcore data and twist tools you
must know to build apps thatperform and grow the community
is key. And the support is grandmeetups, podcasts, and online at
(38:04):
hand. Cocoa heads are now a nameyou should know for they
organize events and help yougrow. So take this advice and
embark on this quest to buildapps that shine and always do
your best you will facechallenges, but with grit and
might, you will emerge as asuccessful iOS developer will
write
Jeroen Leenarts (38:22):
to bet you
cannot imitate him. But it was a
lot of fun talking to you.
ChatGPT (38:26):
It was a pleasure
talking with you as well. If you
have any more questions in thefuture, feel free to ask, Have a
great day.
Jeroen Leenarts (38:35):
All right, that
was a lot of fun. I basically
review the entire response bodyof the chatty party. And it was
basically one area that I hadsome concerns there. And that's
when I asked him about the bookswritten by Donnie was I didn't
check it outright. So I'm not100% Sure, but I think actually
some books were mentioned thatwere not a part of the body of
(38:59):
work that Dani Walz has created.
So it just goes to show that youhave to be careful with what
Chad cheap GPT provides youwith. And that you always have
to use your common sense. But Iwas actually surprised by the
amount of insight that a AIcould actually generate, based
on such a large input of text.
(39:19):
One thing to keep in mind,though, is that chat GPT goes up
to about 2021, maybe two, maybea little bit earlier even. So
even the code that it generates,it will always be like the way
you would be doing things likeback in the day back then. So
it's not modern, swift and swiftUI code to the latest level that
(39:42):
we are used to when working inXcode. So be aware of that. And
it goes to show with any otherbits of code that you let cheap
to generate as well. So theother day, I had to chat GPT
generate some, some source codethat was like no GS based. It
went very well. Copy Pasted, hadto fake like three errors in the
(40:02):
code and it was actuallyrunning. And then I could finish
off that bit of code that Ineeded to do using GitHub co
pilot, which was kind of fun,because I mostly did like
completions and completions, anda bit of generating. And I ended
up with a very basic standardlogin and registration flow
(40:22):
within an OGS. So that was kindof surprising, and also sort of
impressing that, for simple usecases, degeneration of source
code actually can get you thisfar. On the other thing, what I
noticed with Chet GPT, is thatif you're looking for some sort
of challenge, you can just letit generate some challenge for
(40:45):
you. And also, if you want torecap, older, written
documentation, so that's like2021 or earlier, I must say that
Chad GPT does a prettyreasonable job. But the
disadvantages is that you have ahard time getting to the actual
source material that Chad GPThas used to come to the AI
(41:09):
conclusions that it has made. Soit's, it's interesting. It's a
bit of fun, but I would alwayscheck the references before I
actually use or rely onsomething generated by an
artificial intelligence likeGPT. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed
this. And I hope you had someinsights, what cheap tea can do
for you, if you haven't usedyet? GPT? Before, one thing I
(41:33):
would normally not do is let GPTwrite content for me. Except for
one case that is on my blog.
It's my article about obsidianthe knowledge, no take thing. I
actually had that generated byChet GPT. From start to finish,
they did some minor editing onit. But it also clearly marked
the contents as being generated.
(41:54):
It was just an experiment to seehow it would do what it would
actually generate. And yeah,just I think it's important that
if you use Chetcuti in anyshape, way, or form instead to
be clear about that you actuallyrely on such a tool. And also on
top of that. The copyright ofanything generated by
churchianity is a bit vague atthe moment. So there are some
(42:17):
lawsuits going on, I think evenso be careful with what you take
out of a tool like this. So,again, thanks for your time, and
thanks for listening and I hopeyou enjoyed it very weird,
special edition of my podcast.
