I'm specifically referring to ChatGPT. GPT-4 is a different beast that I'm sure is quite adept.
ChatGPT is GPT 3.5 & GPT 4, as far as I'm aware.
3.5 is also very capable when it comes to programming, for any well known framework or language. It's not as capable, but it is still very capable.
I found it was okay with Unity libraries but really good with things like Excel.Interop and business libraries, as well as general programming concepts like linked lists.
For instance, I made a random dungeon generator using Unity's visual scripting. It seemed to be unaware of the visual scripting library. But I'm automating excel processes right now and its on point with those.
Well, the data it was trained on had a cutoff point in 2021 which would explain that.
I've used it (GPT 3) a fair amount for Unity, and I'm fairly pleased with the results, it's saved me a fair amount of time. Implementing object pooling and editor window dialogues for scene translation management for example.
Of course, programming knowledge is required for it to be of consistent use, which, on second thought, may not be at all obvious.
Maybe Visual Scripting is on the cusp of its knowledge. I thought it released in 2021. It has replaced my rubber ducky in corporate environments thats for sure. I plan on using it again for game development after this discussion. My visual scripting use case was off the beaten path which was probably why it had a hard time.
