    Chose IBM Bob
    I don't want to use ChatGPT for serious development work or customer data.

    Copilot could do the same type of work, but I don't think it is tailored to software the way IBM Bob is. Also, I like the way IBM Bob is integrated in an IDE. My only access to Copilot is from various …

    Other services always make errors in db2, whereas IBM Bob knows the syntax better. Others also do not have the understand feature which is insane.

    I’d definitely recommend ChatGPT to anyone as a great introduction to generative AI and as a starting point in research, writing, brainstorming, or general questions or judgement questions. It can be a great tool to use when you don’t necessarily need an accurate answer. For example, I wouldn’t let it calculate my taxes, but I’d use it to ask some general tax questions, then ask for sources and then verify by checking those sources. I also love ChatGPT for writing and questions - it’s great for emails, creating templates and outlines, and for generating spreadsheet formulas.

    Really good fit: - Getting started with IBM i development - Getting an overview of a process or program which you have never seen before - Teaching about general IBM i usage (but you have to ignore the edits of system values on the machine) Not good to use: - If you expect working and fully analyzed modernization projects - If you rely on the correctness of the code, because you don't understand the overall syntax of the language - Working with column based RPG II code - Working on very complex systems

    Pros
    OpenAI
    • Saves time by generating content about a specific topic very quickly
    • Allows us to quickly learn information online (from various sources or even a single lengthy article) into more summed up digestible paragraphs (and even bullet points)
    • Can autogenerate content on a vast amount of topics

    • Fluency in COBOL RPG, and modernizing them into cloud ready frameworks. It compressed a 30 day migration down to 3 days
    • "Plan mode" creates dependency maps and multi-page technical specification drafts. Helps eradicate research overhead. It outputs a 20+ page convert blueprint in minutes
    • Generates end to end automated test suites and native browser validation. Helps extreme QA sprint efficiency without expanding headcount

    Cons
    OpenAI
    • Wish it had support for better slides generation. Sometimes we found ourselves using chatgpt to outline a presentation but build it ourselves or use a tool like Gamma
    • Maybe a chepear $10 plan. In some countries the US dollar can be expensive and $20 goes a long way.
    • I wish you could make projects with more files. They limit it. Or make the limit based on the content, not the number of files per se

    • Would like to see more personalization capabilities. Bob does a good job reading code and adapting to a given style, but there should be more specific personalization settings.
    • A more detailed understanding of how Bobcoins are spent would be welcome. This will help adapt to more efficient prompting.

    ChatGPT is a powerful assistant. As long as you understand what it is you're looking for in its results, it can save you a lot of time due to its ability to do the heavy lifting for you. This frees your time up to enable you to concentrate on other tasks.

    Usability
    OpenAI
    It's a potent utility tool, personally and professionally. It’s also very convenient - it can be used for a wide range of things and scenarios, and when used correctly, it usually produces dependable results in
    seconds. I would give it a full 10 if it didn't hallucinate as much as it does, and the image generator was more accurate.

    IBM Bob functions well with its IDE. The interface is very versatile and configurable. But "out of the box" it is already very useful. And being able to specify which mode of operation it should use (ask, design, etc.) helps your focus and helps to tailor IBM Bob to the function you want it to perform, instead of having to write it all out in prompts.

    I find that ChatGPT has the best overall system for user-friendly Ai. I like the customization options of this tool in comparison to others. The ease of setting up a custom GPT with knowledge and resources is great - you don't get that in other tools. I also like the ability to embed the application directly into the browser or computer. This is powerful and opens up addition features or tools

    • I can solve problems quickly. What would take some time, for example, writing an SPF string, ChatGPT can do it correctly in seconds if I it gives the correct information.
    • The best tool I've ever used for research. For example, I can ask ChatGPT to list all the villages, cities and townships in a specific county. And provide the URL link for each.
    • Problems that seem unsolvable, i.e. why is Gmal rejecting every message from our list server is answered with a number of suggestions that I can follow up with.
    • Basically, has elimited a tech support position in our company.
