When AI became popular a while ago, many friends were asking me: Will AI eliminate programmers?
Now that it has been almost a year since the AI fire, my answer is clear:
AI will eliminate programmers, but it will only eliminate programmers who cannot use AI.
I have to lament that the development of AI is really too fast. Many students may still have an impression of AI limited to intelligent question and answer, but in fact, AI can now work on its own.
Although AI cannot completely replace a profession yet, it has indeed changed the way many professions work.
Employees in our company are using AI tools to help them fish. Development uses it to generate code, design uses it to generate images, operations uses it to optimize copywriting, and sales uses it to respond intelligently. Not only do I want them all, but I also use AI to create art.
Although AI is already so powerful, how many students can actually make good use of it?
In order to keep programmer friends up to date, I made video and graphic tutorials, taking the well-known and free domestic AI tool CodeGeeX as an example to share with you how to use AI tools to improve learning and work efficiency.
It is recommended that you watch the video for a better learning experience:https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Aw411h7Ae
AI usage tutorial
1. Installation
First install the CodeGeeX tool, which can be installed directly on the official website or in the plug-in market of mainstream IDEs.
Official website: https://codegeex.cn/zh-CN?article=1130
There are so many AI tools in China, why did you choose to use it for demonstration?
The reason is simple, 4 advantages: completely free, faster, ecologically active, and most importantly, can be used directly as a plug-in in mainstream IDEs. Both VS Code and JetBrains support~
I don’t know which IDEs are most commonly used by everyone? I choose to use the mainstream lightweight editor VS Code to demonstrate here.
Enter the extension page of VS Code, search for the CodeGeeX plug-in, and click to install:
Then you can see the plug-in on the left:
Here is a VS Code usage tip. Press and hold the mouse on the plug-in icon, and then drag it to the right. The plug-in interface will move to the right, and it can coexist with the file list on the left, which will make it more convenient to use later~
Let me take the work of a programmer as an example to share with you how to use AI to fish. No, use AI to improve work efficiency!
2. Improve work efficiency
1. AI tutor
When a programmer first joins the company, he must first become familiar with the project code, but what should he do if he can't understand the code?
It doesn’t matter, now AI is your mentor!
Open the code file to be analyzed, and then enter the /explain command in the plug-in:
Enter! The AI tutor will help you explain the entire code file, which can help you quickly understand the project.
Of course, you can also select the code snippet and enter the command:
In doing so, the explanation given by the AI may be more detailed:
I strongly recommend that you use this command to explain the code written by your colleagues. If you find that even AI cannot understand it, your colleagues may pay more attention to code quality in the future.
