I promised myself I wasn't going to comment every week, but here we are. I've been using ChatGPT's monthly subscription version for about a year since discovering that it can write python code. While it is far easier than writing from scratch there's still a learning curve. You still need to figure out how to make it to write a good "hello world" before diving into more advanced stuff. And you must audit and review for errors, although the latest engines are far better than the 4.0 engine. You also still need to know what libraries it is using too. I had it write some MIDI code for an iambic key using a RP2040W chip. Turns out there's no wireless MIDI (AKA Apple MIDI) library available for the RP2040W, but it just went along churning out completely worthless code.

The important thing is that it is getting better.

The lead was such a tease! Looking for the content of those important conversations! (Disclosure, I edit a club newsletter, and that content would be a welcome addition -- if you are OK with your work being shared (with attribution, of course.

Best, Christian, KD2LIN
