Here we go! Germany, after Italy, is going bonkers:

chatgpt: Germany’s data protectors open proceedings against OpenAI.“We need to know where the data comes from” used to train ChatGPT. OpenAI is to answer to the data protection authorities.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Good! 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net naja, I want it to stay. I am using it for code documentation. And it is good.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Do you get ChatGPT to write full code and docs or just to assist you?

@prologic@twtxt.net Both. Full code is complicated and does not work. I can write small functions. For example, it took me about one hour to write a full PDF management console app in PowerShell to mimic the App PDF-Archiver https://github.com/PDF-Archiver/PDF-Archiver

But for writing full code? No, that does not work. You still have to connect all the bits and pieces. But I ask it to correct things or explain certain things during code documentation. If you give ChatGPT a complete function, regardless of the Language I tried, it can write you correct e.g. Javadoc with all params, and also document your code with inline comments. Sometimes it also shows you hints and lets you know about certain optimization features. For example, instead of using string concatenation, that you should better use a String Builder.
