Procrastinated biiiig time today but wow, I have to confess, when I finally got around to it… ChatGPT saved me hours of time and heaps of mental energy by spitting out a perfect script that did exactly what I needed it to and I got the thing done in 5 minutes. Even was able to get an instant solution when I initially got an error (it was because my Python path environmental variable had been misconfigured which was an easy fix). And able to get it to explain or run snips of the code to see what the output would be like…
I feel a bit dumber for not figuring it out myself but then again, seriously, I have better things to be doing with my time and brain right now. So excited that this did what I needed!
I’ve tinkered with using AI to help with code and it’s one area I’d trust it with a bit more than anything else. Code is a lot more structured than regular language so it’s harder for AI to just hallucinate an answer. And it helps when you’re somewhat familiar with the language and you’re trying to fix a specific problem.

I’m pretty ignorant of the details but it’s my general experience that GIGO applies
sounds to me like you’re very skilled and knowledgeable and can use tools well
i would be totes clueless
