How do you know?


for a side project, it not only gave me the migrations, it suggested all the column names/datatypes, so basically I just said create me a laravel migration that's for an organization, this is a multi-tenant SaaS app, where an organization is basically a team, or tenant. You can think of these as companies as well, now make a migration that has columns that might generally be included in a company or organization.

It not only spit out the model but also the casts/fillable attributes on the model, as well. It even helped me work through an idea, that I didn't know what it was called, I was thinking it was EAV but instead it's metaform/metafields, to basically create something like how wordpress has the ability to dynamically create content 'types', django/wagtail can do this to, w/ chatgpt I think I've nailed down how to do this using polymorphism with the least amount of headache.

I'm wanting to create a CRM/CMS/ERP solution that can be very 'moldable' to different use cases, and this looks to be a good use, either way just being able to discuss with the ai my 'options', was like a major brain dump and increased the power of my flow.

YMMV, but if you can't get it to work like this, doesn't mean it doesn't, just means it doesn't for you, and while I can save 2-3 hours for every hour previously worked, that's valuable to me, esp as a freelancer who charges per project, not hourly.


Because I tried the code and it worked.


There are lots of people with misconceptions of LLMs. It will take time to adjust.

I reached the same conclusion as yourself, but do see a totally different path to take regarding information propagation (how GPT works). For example, cells merge information monotonically. This is how neural networks balance too, but could be applied in new/undiscovered ways.

I meant - how do you know or why did you say ChatGPT taught you?

It doesn't know what works.
