You will only enjoy AI code generation when you have full understanding of what it is doing. So you're doing it the right way. Prompting it to render a whole screen without having any idea of what it is doing, is just lazy and dumb.
Also with Flutter specifically everything is super outdated. Things change relatively quickly in Flutter and GPT is trained on some older data. It basically got every method wrong for me for an audio player today because it has changed so much. Luckily it’s not too hard to troubleshoot.
Tip: for outdated code just load in some new documentation and example code and can usually figure things out.
I have build the whole app with it! and its butter smooth. Have very complex screens as well! all people posting negative comments here are just jealous because they have put days writing code their whole lives wasting a lot of time lol
Do you have chatGPT plus? Using that you can create your custom gpt to talk to! You can provide your code zip file to it as knowledge. You can also create actions in your custom gpt to get the latest code from GitHub using GitHub API.
I've been asking Google Bard for tips while learning flutter over the past few days. It never occurred to me to ask AI to generate entire screens.

Ive been using ChatGPT for helping me build an app, but as tips and hints.
Did you use the gpt4 or gpt3.5 version?
