Generative Pretrained Transformer

AI model created & owned by OpenAI A machine learning model that performs

NLP Model
(e.g., LLM)
What Are LLMs?

A large language model is an AI-powered system, based on a neural

network of “Transformers”, trained on vast amounts of text data to
generate human-like text output by predicting the next word based
on the user input prompt.

Developer Example: Building a Meetups REST API

Building a “Monster Slayer” Game
Using ChatGPT with no / minimal
programming experience

Building a text-based / command-line

based game: “Monster Slayer”

Description
It’s a turn-based game where the user (= player) fights a monster (= computer).
During every turn, the player can perform a regular or strong attack or heal.
The strong attack should only be available every three turns. Healing should only be
available every five turns.
After each turn, the monster attacks.
Damage & heal values are calculated randomly.
The first participant to go below 0 health loses.
Both participants start with 100 health.
Once the game is over, the winner should be displayed on the screen and the player should
be asked if a new game should be started.

Building a “Meetups” REST API
Using ChatGPT with programming
experience

Building a NodeJS REST API

Description

It’s a REST API with the following endpoints:

POST /meetups → Create a new meetup
GET /meetups → Fetch meetups
PATCH /meetups/<id> → Update existing meetup
DELETE /meetups/<id> → Delete existing meetup

Every meetup has an id, title, summary & address.

Meetup data should be stored in a meetups.json file, incoming data must be validated.
Data should be exchanged in JSON format.
Enhancing The “Meetups” REST API

Add Authentication Handle Errors

Add POST /signup & POST / Throw errors & use generic
