Coding Bugs with ChatGPT
Recently I was tinkering around with creating a Chrome extension. Not having a lot of experience with this, I did what the cool kids these days are doing: I decided to use ChatGPT for helping me write code. And don鈥檛 get me wrong, ChatGPT (or other AI tools for that matter) does a decent job of helping you create things and spot bugs.
