ChatGPT Introduces New Way to Write and Code with Canvas Update
Summary
ChatGPT is ready to release a new interface, which it dubs "Canvas", that could help computer programmers or writers achieve more fluid workflows. Rather than having to re-do a prompt every time you want a different output, users of Canvas will be able to highlight the lines of text or code produced by ChatGPT and edit them directly. In addition, Canvas will include a menu of shortcuts that allows you to ask ChatGPT to adjust your writing length, debug your code, change the reading level, and even suggest appropriate emojis. The new tool, which could be good news for many programmers, comes as ChatGPT is starting to gain some approval from the wider academic community about its coding capabilities—at least in some respects. One of the researchers noted that though ChatGPT showed reasonable levels of proficiency at correcting other peoples code it sometimes “fails to understand the meaning of questions."
