A large part of software development is documentation. It is often overlooked or not kept up to date. I think the great advancement of AI is that we can now more closely link and validate one with the other. You can easily summarize some code with chatGPT, and also provide some structure of code based on documentation (as an outline, or first cut).

However, this is the state of the art today. In the future, the training set will be based on the prompt-result output and refinement process, leading me to believe that next generation tools will be much better at prompting the user to provide the details. I've already seen this enhancement in gpt4 recently, I think this is a common and interesting use case.

Overall, these tools will become more and more advanced and useful for developers. Now is a great time to become proficient and start learning how the future will require you to adapt your workflow in order to best leverage chatGPT for development.
