On November 30, 2023, OpenAI released ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot. The reaction has been phenomenal, and for a good reason - ChatGPT’s human-like responses often seem like the stuff of science fiction.

ChatGPT is so good that it, and other technology based around the same GPT-3.5 Language Model, could seriously jeopardize many people's jobs.

And that might even include programmers and developers! Because ChatGPT is equally adept at writing code as it is at writing essays.

As a tool, ChatGPT is remarkable, and it really offers a lot of advantages to makers and hobbyists. Imagine having your own personal coding assistant on call 24 hours per day. Well, now you can have that with ChatGPT!

I’ll show you how to use ChatGPT to code in both C++ and MicroPython, using an Arduino Uno and an ESP32 module. We’ll start off small and then move up to building a Temperature & Humidity Meter, a WiFi Scanner, and a MicroPython-based ESP32 Web Server.

While I don’t think that ChatGPT will be replacing coders too soon, it is a valuable tool that will really assist developers and makers in improving their code and reducing their coding time.

Also, please note that this video (and its accompanying article) were created at the end of January 2023, about 8 weeks after the release of the public beta of ChatGPT. It’s very likely that new features will be added, and ChatGPT Pro will be released soon. Keep that in mind when you watch the video in the future!

Hope you find it useful.
