An experimment: Rust basics by ChatGPT

andrei-calazans.com

In my spare time I have been learning Rust. Its knowledge intersection with C, C++, and Haskell make it a fun language to learn.

The one thing that stood out during this process though has been my usage of ChatGPT to instruct me. Instead of reading a pre-published book I simply had ChatGPT write the book as I dove into each subject.

Is this done with gpt4? In one go?

Yea, it's a single conversation but with intervals. Up to a point, like a bit over half way through it, it kinda of lost its context window from the beginning and I had to remind it the curriculum that it was following. Other than that I just kept telling it to continue with the next topic once I was pleased with the current topic.
