ChatGPT just dropped, and it’s one of those “this is actually magical” moments. In this video I put it to the test—not for blog writing (because yeah, it’s already insanely good at that), but for coding. Specifically: creative coding in p5.js. I wanted to see if it can generate visuals and animations the way a real creative dev would, and whether it can understand small tweaks and art-direction style prompts. I start simple by asking it to code a sunset in p5.js. It spits out full code in seconds, which is honestly wild—something that could take a p5.js dev a chunk of time to write. But when I run it, it’s basically a static scene, so I push it: make the sun “set” from east to west. It updates the code, but the behavior isn’t quite what I meant (it ends up moving left-to-right). From there I try more prompts—two stickmen with tiny swords (spoiler: not impressive), and then a simple tree. The tree works, but the “add colors” upgrade is pretty basic. The takeaway: ChatGPT is fast and coherent, but for creative coding it still needs a lot of guidance—and it’s definitely not replacing developers today.
