Chat-GPT Data Science Prompts
Intro
This article is a resume of Travis Tang Medium article reference on the Reference section. According to Travis Chat GPT performs well in explaining things and providing boilerplate code, however falters when comes to debuging or creating complex snippets.
I totally agree with Travis mention
Will ChatGPT replace data scientists? No, I don’t think so. At least not yet. However someone using ChatGPT might.
I hope these prompts are helpful for you! It certainly helped me.
