    EP35 – GPTs Gone Wild

    This week on WPwatercooler’s Dev Branch, we’re diving into a hot topic that’s buzzing in the WordPress community: GPTs and their role in programming for WordPress. It’s not just about what these powerful tools can do; it’s about how we, as developers and creators, use them. Should we lean on GPTs to craft code for our plugins and themes? And when things get tricky, is it fair to ask for a helping hand in forums for code that a machine helped write? Plus, we’re curious – how’s everyone finding debugging when GPT’s involved? Has it been smooth sailing, or are we navigating through a storm? Join us as we explore these questions and share stories from the trenches of WordPress development. It’s all about learning from each other and figuring out the best path forward in this rapidly evolving landscape.   Show Notes can be found: https://wpwatercooler.com/devbranch/ep35-gpts-gone-wild/ Panel: Jason Tucker, Sé Reed, Jason Cosper Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction with Jason Tucker 00:27 - Welcoming Sé Reed and Jason Cosper 01:04 - Discussion on Spotify and data monetization 02:20 - The theme of the episode: AI in the machine 03:24 - The post that sparked the episode discussion 06:12 - The challenge of debugging code written with ChatGPT 07:19 - Discussing the implications of AI-generated code and its impact on forums and debugging 10:01 - The potential misuse of AI in generating code and the role of developers 14:26 - PHP version support and security implications 18:10 - Exploring the practical uses of GPT and AI in development and systems administration 22:14 - The idea of integrating AI with WPCLI for WordPress administration 26:05 - Reflecting on the evolution of GPT's capabilities and the concept of "poison data" 33:37 - The potential for AI to impact the WordPress community and plugin ecosystem 37:50 - Ethical considerations and the potential for misuse of AI in development 41:39 - Closing thoughts on AI's role in technology and community engagement 43:44 - Wrap-up and invitation to join the Discord community   What is WPwatercooler?
