AI tools for coding

What I use AI tools for

I mostly use AI tools for coding in these 2 reasons:

• To solve a conceptual problem
  • Large scale: ex. How would I design the structure of a new database
  • Smaller scale: ex. How would I implement this service function in my api-server
• To reduce menial keyboard typing of stuff.
  • Implement a type predicate for this interface A

Stuff I used

I used chatGPT (both paid and free), Google Bard, new Bing, and HuggingFace chat, Hugging Face Code VSC extension so far.

How I use

I mostly use ChatGPT 4 for the larger conceptual problem. Because it has the highest context retention and reasoning. The smartest one. But this one has a message cap for 25 messages/3 hrs

So For menial tasks I would use anything else.

Miscellaneous

• new bing for search.
• Hugging Face chat is not really credible IMO. But since it is open-source seems to get a lot of updates. Also the most fun to play with because it spits out lots of funny nonsense
• Hugging Face code is also decent if you don't want to spend money on Github copilot.
