Today, we see the term AI (Artificial Intelligence) all over the place.
What AI am I using
- Kodee (Hostinger AI)
- ChatGPT (Open AI Free version)
Kodee
Kodee is the AI assistant hosted within the Hostinger hPanel. It is a helpful tool geared towards helping you with your hosting setup.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT is the OpenAI assistant. I use ChatGPT daily for my regular work ranging from coding queries, research queries and idea generation.
I find ChatGPT to be a powerful tool. However, like all AI tools you need to know the results are correct.
There are many different AI assistants geared towards generating code, and they do a great job, but do not accept the code “as is”, you need to ensure it is doing what you require and sensitive data is secured.
How to Use AI
Normally, when using AI you will be prompted with a prompt. For the very first prompt I will normally prime the query with a set of keywords to give the query some context eg
.NET Core, Blazor, Auth, Google. I would like to integrate my web solution with Google Login
This helps the engine provide a relevant answer.
Sometimes these answers “hollucinate”, which means they provide an answer that looks legitimate, however, it may be that the feature is not supported on that system or the system keyword does not exist.
Once the AI provides an answer, it will present a prompt for your next question or proposal. You can ask for more information or ask for the answer to be refined, you do not need to repeat anything already entered.
Repeat until you have the required answer.
What’s the problem?
The different AI engines are not created equally, some by default will be super encouraging and others may be a bit more brutal.
Brutal >>>>>>> High Praise
Grok – ChatGpt – Gemini
The AI engines that offer praise tend to come out with phrases like
- That’s a great idea…
- You’ve got this…
The engine will try to be helpful and not offend, so try adding some requirements to the prompt
Amazing stuff have fun with it..
