Developing apps with gpt-4 and chatgpt
In this new era of pushing the limits of the idea of an app, this book is a great introduction to the vast capacities of Generative Pre-Trained Transformers.
When ChatGPT was released it was a deluge of concepts at first, ones that those who were not acquainted with the private world of transformers would not understand at all. Sort of like what happened with the sudden surge of cryptocurrencies in 2020, every newsletter dealing with ethereum and obscures coins would push the reader to ignore the whole revolution by the sheer amount of complex, unexplained and abbreviated jargon. The first task for this book, thus constituing its first quality since it dealt with it so elegantly, was to introduce in a matter of few pages what LLMs, transformers, NLPs, prompts and other related concepts to current state of AI actually are.
It does so even more briliiantly that it takes a quick detour into their recent history, challenges and what made them stand in contrast to alternative initiatives. Once the scene is set and the vocabulary shared, it procedes to giving real world examples on how to use the available OpenAI api for that little crazy idea you've had in the back of your head for a while. I totally recommend this minibook its humble, straight to the point introduction to using GPTs for making apps. A gem 💎
