First Thought:
I plan to make this as a tutorial. Then I changed my mind.
I thought again, maybe put this in B4J Share Your Creations.
I changed my mind again.

Mission:
Build an Inventory System using Pakai Server with ChatGPT

How good is ChatGPT using Pakai Server project template?
Let's see...


I gave up.

Sorry to disappoint you.

So the LLMs are not only haluscinating but now it is "scheming".

That looks like a very interesting project! I wish you the best of luck with the development, I’m sure it will turn out great. 🚀

Just randomly playing with ChatGPT. I never thought to create this project. I just test it's first suggestion. Never expected it was doing so bad.

I understand you perfectly —sometimes when playing around with ChatGPT we end up testing ideas without really planning to start a full project. Don’t feel bad about it, it’s all part of experimenting and learning.


A complete inventory management system may look simple at first, but it’s actually a challenging project. You would need tables for entries, outputs, stock levels, customers, suppliers, products, a dashboard, and also a user table to clearly define what permissions normal users and administrators should have. Personally, I haven’t started such a project myself because of the time it requires, but I do think it’s a very interesting idea.

Yes, ChatGPT did provide a starter project but the code is not working at all.
I think LLM can only good in programming languages like python and javascript which are more machine friendly. It fails miserably in real human use programming languages like B4X.

Hey! I just made a small attempt myself, and honestly, it wasn’t that difficult, even though it’s not finished yet. You can see my progress here: Quick Progress: Inventory Management System in B4J with JDashboardUI and Magic API


I think B4J is a great tool for building apps quickly, which is a real advantage. Even if ChatGPT struggles with B4X code sometimes, having the right tools makes development much faster and smoother.

I think you didn't get my point.
I am testing ChatGPT ability to understand my project and use it to build an app.
Of course with human intelligence, we are able to create wonders with other tools.
It turns out people will think my tools are not the right tool. This is not my point.
