I asked Chat GPT to build a To-Do app — Have we finally met our replacement?
<p>We saw the release of GitHub Copilot in October of 2021 and the whole dev community went crazy.</p>
<p>Some were claiming that we would soon be left out of a job, and others, like me, thought that while the tool was interesting, it was really far from a replacement. It could provide better autocomplete, yes, but it was not capable of creating an entire app for you.</p>
<p>So we were safe.</p>
<p>Or so we thought.</p>
<p>A few weeks ago we saw the release of Chat GPT and the entire dev community went crazy again. But are they right this time around?</p>
<p>I tried the AI and I asked it to build the web dev equivalent of a “Hello world”: a To-Do app.</p>
<p>Let’s see how it did.</p>
<h1>The request</h1>
<p>Here are my prompts for the chatbot and the answers I got:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>can you give me the code to create a <strong>to-do app</strong> that allows me to <strong>edit the items</strong> and <strong>store them in a database</strong>? Please use <strong>React</strong> for the front-end and <strong>next js</strong> for the back-end</p>
</blockquote>
<p>That was my initial prompt, and the key asks are bolded there:</p>
<ul>
<li>A to-do app</li>
<li>Ability to edit items</li>
<li>Store data in a database</li>
<li>Use React and Next</li>
</ul>
