    Is ChatGPT a tool that will help programmers write better code, or is it going to replace everyone's jobs? Is it capable of generating high quality code, or is the output nonsensical and untrustworthy?

    This workshop will go over concrete examples of how to use generative AI effectively as a programmer today, as well as provide an understanding of its current strengths and limitations. This is a conversation that can't be ignored, as the technology is rapidly evolving. This workshop can give you a foundation to better understanding of both how to use and how not to use generative AI in your own work, and keep you plugged into the conversation as it changes each day.
