|
| Also if you have installed any GPT command line program like
| askleo and don't need to give it context you can just run :r
| !askleo description of function and language here
|
| Although askleo uses text-davinci-003 so I would use one set up
| for ChatGPT instead. Or if you are not too lazy this extension
| looks great.
|
| What would be really nice is something that automatically
| selected context and then streamed in the code. Also it should
| come with a short command or default for that.

|
| Chat API is this: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-
| reference/chat/create
|
| URL that the plugin is using for the API call is here: https:
| //github.com/dpayne/CodeGPT.nvim/blob/1ff70459b170ddaf...
|
| TLDR: yes
|

|
| I haven't used ChatGPT Plus, just the normal one. But at
| least the demonstration GIF makes it seem kind of slow. One
| selling point of the Plus service is supposedly that you get
| faster responses.

|
| The Telescope-esque UI is nicely done as well.

|
| Absolutely. That's a very exciting thing. These tools are
| forcing us to confront who we are.
|
| Interestingly, LLMs (so far) are similarly limited, they can
| only ingest/digest so much data at a time, so we are trying to
| figure ways around it.
|
| Just like humans, soon there will be lots of specialized LLMs,
| ones that do only certain types of law, or only one programming
| language, or even just one codebase, etc.
|
| Fun times coming.
