    It’s Python what ChatGPT has helped me from almost zero prior knowledge, and I’ve managed to create a (probably shitty) script that works with OpenAI’s API, uses classes and functions and can do things like recursively summarizing a text until it’s below a specific token count, among several other things. As time went on, I required less help and I could implement more changes on my own.

    I had prior (non-ChatGPT) Bash, PowerShell and BATCH knowledge.

    It’s true that ChatGPT has bamboozled me several times with wrong code, but unless it’s something too complex, it get what I need in a few tries. For more complex stuff I have to use smaller more specific queries and in some cases I still Google things, but it’s usually my last resort.

    In any case, I frequenly ask ChatGPT for a detailed explanation of what does the code do, mostly because I want to clearly understand what I’m using, and it helps me learn new coding/scripting stuff.
