My ChatGPT Experiences
3/28/23 I was able to get good code for Kotlin. However, some code was deprecated, and it did not include imports, nor instructions of where to put the code.
So, a better prompt might have been:
Tell me the code to vibrate a phone using Kotlin, within Android Studio, using non-deprecated code. Include imports and instructions on where to add the code within the file.
Results: It STILL did not tell me where to put the permission within the AndroidManifest.xml file. It DID show me undeprecated code.
3/28/23 Prompt was:
Tell me the code to play a sound, from low volume and slowly rising to a higher volume over 60 seconds time, using Kotlin, within Android Studio, using non-deprecated code. Include imports and instructions on where to specifically add the code within the file.
Results?
So far, so good. It was too long for it, though, and it cut it off at the end.
I have not tested it yet.
3/28/23
Teach me an introductory lesson on Kotlin, for Android Studio. 5 minutes long.
Results:
It gave a wordy, ‘words’ response. I had wanted a ‘working’ example, tutorial.
3/28/23
Tell me the first 5 lines of code a new Kotlin programmer should know.
Results:
This gave great results! Maybe adding, ‘show an example for each’, might have helped.
