Applying prompts to GenAI/LLMs

OpenAI has just announced canvas ( https://openai.com/index/introducing-canvas/  ) with ChatGPT as a beta in  ChatGPT Plus . Canvas is an extra interface along with the standard prompt interface which we have got used to.  In an earlier post, I started discussing using Canvas for  reports,  but what about coding? People have been using generative AIs for coding, including code generation from prompts, but what does it do when we use canvas. So let's play. The new interface for canvas does support coding (as does ChatGPT) - could it be a programmer's friend/assistant?  In the example below ChatGPT was asked via an initial prompt to produce a pseudo-code for the start of a murder-mystery style game, but to also use canvas.  What it produces is a form pseudo-code in the style of Python; not a great surprise there, as ChatGPT is not bad at generating Python code. So, can it convert the pseudo-code to something other than Python? The two examples below sho...

One of the difference is both windows are editable for prompts. So using the lefthand side you can put in a prompt as normal  in ChatGPT but in the right-hand wind you highlight the text and ask  ChatGPT  do action that bit .  You can...
