💻 PROGRAMMING WITH AI!!

Problem: I have been hearing a lot of noise lately about the new underdog that is coming up in the AI space, called Deepseek. According to the rumors it is supposed to be better than all other AI models. So, I wanted to put it to the test. I asked both, ChatGPT and Deepseek, the same question, and here are their answers!

Prompt: This is ruby code. Rewrite this if needed: 

def request_tour_type_if_present
    recent_showing_request_property.active? 
       ? "General Inquiry" 
       : (request_for_coming_soon? 
           ? "" 
           : request_tour_type)
end

ChatGPT:

def request_tour_type_if_present
  if recent_showing_request_property.active?
    "General Inquiry"
  elsif request_for_coming_soon?
    ""
  else
    request_tour_type
  end
end

Deepseek:

def request_tour_type_if_present
  if recent_showing_request_property.active?
    "General Inquiry"
  else
    request_for_coming_soon? ? "" : request_tour_type
  end
end

Thoughts: While this was a limited test, Deepseek matched ChatGPT in output quality. However, Deepseek delivered answers instantly, while ChatGPT took ~30 seconds to respond. For time-sensitive tasks, Deepseek might have the edge.
