Part 3/9:
Using Python as an example, Shapiro demonstrates how Codex can generate functions based on comments. For instance, he prompts:
"def get_reddit_data"
but notices that the model outputs a block of text, including triple quotes, which it interprets as a docstring or comment block. To manage this, he comments out or deletes unnecessary parts before executing the code.
Calling and Running Generated Functions
After generating a function, such as retrieving Reddit data, the key step is to call it within the script. Shapiro emphasizes calling the function explicitly, for example:
print(get_reddit_data())
