9:30 am: I like programming!
I once programmed, really coded: an unbeatable cute cat game called “Clumsy Karate Cat” for Android and Apple phones. It was the designated successor to Flappy Bird, waiting to be downloaded by the masses. And it waited and waited and waited for it to be removed from both app stores. Unfortunately, I had to learn that marketing is everything. The cutest cat won’t help.
Not only the game has disappeared from the shops, but also my rudimentary knowledge of programming. At that time I was able to use a programming interface called “Corona”. The surface, as you can guess, no longer exists under that name. All that remained was my frustration that I never really learned to program. Neither HTML nor Javascript.
But now with ChatGPT there is an artificial intelligence that does the tedious programming work for me. At least that’s what the exuberant tweets tell me about the upgrade to version 4. And as so often these days, I’m taking on a challenge: Can I do it tonight (almost) without any programming knowledge with ChatGPT Tic-tac-toe game computer programming?
Wish me luck!
1st attempt: greets the page
What the many enthusiastic tweets don’t say: Chat GPT-4 is smart, but not a racehorse. Because I’m pressed for time, I decide to make a first version with GPT-3.5. It can’t be that hard…
I try the following prompt:
The background must be black.
The grid of the playing field and the playing pieces must be pink.
The player plays against a computer opponent.
The player always starts.
When the game is over, it should be stated who won – or if there was a tie.
A button should appear below it to start a new game.
It should have the following caption: “Start a new game”.
GPT-3.5 works like Valentino Rossi and writes me code in seconds.
But what good is the code? I build it into our homepage, which thanks to our content management system (CMS) is child’s play, even for a layman like me. And voila!
aaaaaaaaaaa
With my HTML element I destroy the layout of our beautiful news page. Ha! The tingling feeling of power arises, because everyone knows: whoever wants to create must also be able to destroy! Or something.
But now the sales team is behind me and listening. That's how quickly omnipotence turns into powerlessness. I feel like Goethe's sorcerer's apprentice. How the hell do I get rid of the ghosts I called?
And above all: what has Chat-GPT 3.5 programmed here? The rendering of the playing field is reminiscent of a Basquiat painting and there is no computer opponent either. But I'll have to take care of that later. Now I need to get our watson layout back in order. Otherwise I will be quickly banned from trying here.
Wish me luck! Now I really need it!
