Limitations of One-Shot Prompts

For complex tasks like building a web app, a single 'one-shot' prompt might not produce a perfect application. You may need to use several follow-up prompts to fix bugs and refine the functionality.

Visual Strengths vs. Functional Weaknesses

ChatGPT 5.2 shows major improvements in visuals (modern UI, transparency effects, functional light/dark modes). However, the core functionality generated might be less stable or 'broken' compared to previous models (e.g., 5.1) when using a single prompt.

More Complex Code Generation

Newer AI models like ChatGPT 5.2 have the potential to generate much longer and more complex code (e.g., 1,800+ lines compared to 300 lines by older models) for the same task. This demonstrates its ability to build more intricate structures.

Prompt for an AI Tool Comparison Website

Target: ChatGPT
Create a modern looking website using the canvas mode. The website should allow users to compare different AI tools, similar to the concept on Futuripedia. Key requirements: - A clean, modern UI with both a light mode and a dark mode that works correctly. - A functional filtering system to sort through AI tools. - When a user clicks on a tool, a pop-up modal with a transparent effect should display its details. - Users must be able to select two or more tools for comparison. - The comparison view must display the selected tools side-by-side in a clear, easy-to-read table. - Ensure the app is fully functional and not broken on the first generation.
Step by Step

Generate a Website Using a Prompt in Canvas Mode

  1. Open the ChatGPT 5.2 interface.
  2. Locate and activate 'Canvas Mode'. This will allow you to see a live visual preview of the generated code.
  3. Enter your highly detailed prompt into the text input box.
  4. Submit the prompt to start the website generation process.
  5. Watch as 'Canvas Mode' displays the visually rendered website.

Test the Comparison Functionality on the Generated Website

  1. On the generated website, click on one of the available AI tool cards.
  2. A pop-up modal showing the tool details will appear.
  3. Click the 'Select to compare' button for the first tool (e.g., ChatGPT).
  4. Click the 'Add a chat GPT to compare' button. (Note: This step might reveal a bug or a clunky workflow).
  5. Select a second AI tool from the main list to compare (e.g., Claude).
  6. Click 'Select to compare' on that second tool.
  7. Finally, find and click the 'Compare' button to view the comparison table.
  8. Verify whether the comparison table between the two tools is successfully displayed.
