DaddyFatty 0 Posted January 1 I'm a beginner Java developer, and I've been diving into creating fun little projects for the DreamBot client. So far, I’ve built an auto bone picker and burier, as well as a woodcutting bot, and I’m really enjoying the process. For those of you who script as well, do you use ChatGPT to assist with writing or optimizing your code? If so, what tips or strategies do you recommend for getting the most out of it?
Budbomber 5 Posted January 1 People use chatgpt for everything nowadays. However there is a difference. Chatgpt can be used to reach you things principles etc short snippets and examples however it will struggle with any substantial amount of code.. and of course the context matters too. I use claude/copilot for planning help / teaching things I may not know
YUNGTHUGFATGP 100 Posted January 1 You can have it assist you but I think having a background in Java development will get you further, I think it's a great stepping stone to see code structure, basics of the Dreambot API, and the like though.
DaddyFatty 0 Author Posted January 4 Yes, the more I know Java, the more technically I can communicate with ChatGPT.
Tweeboy 20 Posted January 7 I've found it to suck at generating code from scratch. Even if I provide instructions I still have to make a lot of edits. And these are edits beyond converting DB2>DB3, which will happen a lot because GPT likes to use DB2 However, if you provide some code as a starting point and then describe the desired script logic/changes you are seeking that it can help add features pretty seamlessly. Great at expanding on an existing script you've written.
KRTBotting 37 Posted January 7 I recommend everyone to not use it. Only use it for tedious jobs, like when you have to write out all hunting NPC's etc, stuff like that. Just learn what you need to know, it will help you so much. ChatGPT makes unreadable code, it really becomes one big pile of spaghetti that is impossible to debug (or it would take hours upon hours). Stay away from it as much as possible.
AceOfBae 1 Posted January 29 I only use it for regex code snippets lol. Because that is so tedius. For code, I guess it's useful for building a starting point. Couple functions here and there, basic main-structure, etc. There will be a LOT of adjustments and trial and error, so as mentioned above, if you have experience with Java already, your best bet is to just code using your knowledge.
Chieftain 8 Posted January 29 (edited) ChatGPT / LLM's , basically democratized access to above average tutors, and a better search engine (without ads, and/or leading you to a bunch of opinionated BS, that infests forums). You are simply asking the wrong question, you should be using ChatGPT, to help you learn, not to do things for you. You don't want to be a ChatGPT developer, they are a burden, they create more bugs, and everyone else is expected to fix it. Edited January 29 by Chieftain camelCase 1
