In this video, Ken Jee delves into the shortcomings of ChatGPT's code interpreter, likening it to a race car without the turbo boost needed for high-speed thrills. He highlights the inability to access databases, the restriction to Python version 3.8, and the inability to install new libraries as major hurdles. Moreover, the absence of a GPU limits the interpreter's potential for tasks like machine learning, akin to a car missing its turbo boost for intense races. Ken Jee expresses a preference for his previous method using ChatGPT with Google Colab, which offered more control over the environment and a wider range of data sources.
Ken Jee emphasizes the importance of Python versioning, noting that while Python 3.8 suffices for many applications, certain functions require newer versions like Python 3.10. This limitation in the code interpreter restricts the user from leveraging the latest features and tools available in newer Python versions. Additionally, the inability to install new libraries within the interpreter further constrains its utility, preventing users from exploring less common but potentially valuable tools. The absence of a GPU in the interpreter is likened to a race car without a turbo boost, limiting its potential for high-performance tasks like deep learning.
Ken Jee draws parallels between the code interpreter's limitations and a race car's lack of necessary upgrades for optimal performance. He highlights the interpreter's substantial RAM and processor capabilities but underscores the necessity of a GPU for tasks like deep learning. By sharing his previous method of using ChatGPT with Google Colab for enhanced control and flexibility, Ken Jee advocates for a hybrid approach combining both platforms. This approach allows users to overcome the code interpreter's constraints while awaiting potential improvements from OpenAI to address issues such as Python versioning, library installation, and database access.
