"Cortland and Fleming said they spent about $5,000 and got the site live in a matter of days. Now, after building a product with AI from scratch, they have a message for students and aspiring engineers: use AI as both a tool and a teacher and make sure it's a little rude."
"Fleming pushes his models to challenge his assumptions. 'His models are really mean,' Cortland said. From there, they recommend asking AI to walk them through the step-by-step processes of building software."
"A lot of times, we have it acting as our tutor as we're building projects. For example, it teaches me the best software engineering practices. I'm in academia but we aren't engineers."
"Just as important, they said, is showing what you build to the world. It's a message that some of Silicon Valley's biggest names like LinkedIn's CEO Ryan."
Cortland and Fleming developed Gas Index to monitor gas prices in response to rising costs. They utilized various AI tools, including a phone bot that contacted nearly 20,000 gas stations for pricing updates. The project cost around $5,000 and was completed quickly. They advocate for using AI as a critical tool in learning and development, suggesting that students prompt AI to critique their work. They emphasize the importance of showcasing projects to the public as part of the learning process.
