Developing a Webtoon Service with ChatGPT: Took 5 Hours, Design and Verification Remain the Developer's Responsibility

The developer experimented with the potential of ChatGPT (gpt-3.5) by implementing a simple webtoon service using Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, React Query, and more. They worked with AI on tasks such as banner components, work lists, detail pages, Redux state management, and TMDB API integration, with pure development time taking about 5 hours (10 Pomodoros). While AI was useful for generating small code snippets and structuring React components, it was trained on data from before 2021, leading to errors when applying the latest Tailwind configurations or specific libraries (such as Swiper.js) and lacking design details. Additionally, the possibility of incorrect code generation due to hallucinations was noted, confirming that final architecture design and code verification must be performed by the developer.
