The video demonstrates how to use AI, specifically ChatGPT, to assist in software development, particularly with a React Native application using Expo. The process begins with creating a new React Native application using ChatGPT commands. The video then demonstrates how to generate a landing page for the application, starting with a button in the center of the screen that reveals a motivational quote when pressed.
The video then shows how to generate mock data for the application using ChatGPT, which is used to test the application further. Finally, the video concludes by stating that this is just one way AI tools like ChatGPT can be used to assist in software development projects.
1. The video demonstrates how to use AI, specifically chat GPT, to assist in software development.
2. The tutorial focuses on using chat GPT to create a new React Native application.
3. The tutorial starts by asking chat GPT to write the steps to start a new React Native application using Expo.
4. The instructor mentions the importance of specificity when writing chat GPT commands and how clear communication of the desired outcome is crucial.
5. The instructor points out that chat GPT 3.5 only contains data from September 2021, and it's always a good idea to compare chat GPT results with more recent information.
6. The instructor creates a new Expo app using the newer command introducing Expo SDK 46.
7. The instructor names the app "Code Jam" and starts creating the app.
8. The instructor asks chat GPT for assistance in building the landing page, which is a button in the center of the screen.
9. The instructor asks chat GPT to write a React Native component that displays a button in the center of the screen with specific styling.
10. The instructor adds the motivational button component to the main application and tests the application by running the iOS emulator.
11. The instructor adds a new component, "message", which displays a motivational quote.
12. The instructor creates a state for showing and not showing the button and a function that toggles this state.
13. The instructor adds the toggle message function to the motivational button.
14. The instructor modifies the get message function to generate a random number within the elements of the array.
15. The instructor uses chat GPT to generate an array of 10 elements with objects containing three parameters: ID, message, and author.
16. The instructor adds the generated elements to the list of messages in the application.
17. The instructor concludes the video by summarizing the steps taken and emphasizing the use of chat GPT as an assistance in building software development projects.
