Chatgpt as a Support Tool for Online Behavioral Task Programming

Abstract

One of the main challenges faced by behavior analysts has been the automation and systematization of experimental tasks. The evolution of the systems allowed behavior analysts to go from designing analog electronic circuits to use online platforms. Online behavioral tasks have had great relevance in recent years due to the COVID-19 health contingency. OpenAI ChatGPT is a chatbot based on OpenAI GPT-3 fine-tuning. This Artificial intelligence was trained using Human Feedback Reinforcement Learning, and it can generate text responses similar to those of humans in a conversational context. One of the most exciting functions of ChatGPT is its ability to generate programming code blocks in different open-source programming languages. We describe how to use the newly released ChatGPT artificial intelligence as a programming assistant to develop an online behavioral task (Concurrent reinforcement schedule) in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code. Although the IA cannot completely replace programmers, we conclude that using OpenAI ChatGPT allows for obtaining detailed programming solutions and reducing the time associated with programming.
