Abstract
Seemingly everyone has been talking about the impact of OpenAI's ChatGPT on, well, everything, including writing code. In this very special RPIrates we talk specifically about generating great, and sometimes not-so-great, R code based on OpenAI's "Codex" models, which are easily accessed via the OpenAI API with the help of RStudio extensions (addins) provided by the GPTStudio package. After a quick icebreaker in which we demo GPTStudio in action, we briefly review transformer neural networks; we talk about how code completion tools like Microsoft's IntelliCode Compose apply TNN frameworks to write scarily excellent code; we tour OpenAI's Codex documentation; and then we get back to more hands-on with GPTstudio. We also talk about why code completion frameworks like Codex are so great at Python and Javascript but spotty with R, and of course, the ethics; oh, the ethics! Many links for further learning and research are provided.
