Generating code with ChatGPT

ChatGPT is useful for generating R code because it has been trained on a vast amount of programming-related text, including R code examples and best practices. With this knowledge, ChatGPT can understand user queries and provide accurate and contextually relevant R code suggestions. It can generate code snippets for tasks such as data manipulation, visualization, statistical analysis, and package usage. ChatGPT’s ability to leverage its training to generate syntactically correct and efficient R code helps users save time, improve their coding skills, and explore different approaches to problem-solving. It serves as a valuable resource for both novice and experienced R programmers seeking code generation assistance.

In this recipe, we’ll ask ChatGPT to develop a plot for us. Specifically, we’ll be looking for a pairs-style scatter plot of all samples against each other. As we’ll see, it doesn’t get it right but it does...
