The problem is a lot of it is not publicly available. E.G: I asked chat gpt to help me install Python on Ubuntu 22.04, and it failed miserably. Why? Because 22.04 is recent and many pitfalls it comes with haven't been much documented yet. And it also don't know what is never written, but implicitly known if you deal with a lot of beginners. E.G: people get utterly confused with *args and **kwargs in Python, because it can be used at 2 different places, and depending of those places, it does completely different things. The latter is well documented, but that the brain of people cannot grok it is not. So chatgpt will explain the same things as most of the doc, without realizing that what it needs to do is to warn humans that they are going to be confused and how to avoid it. Humanity has a lot of implicit knowledge.*

There's an explicit caveat on chat gpt: limited knowledge of the world and events after 2021. You're asking about 22.04.

  Right so that why it's not useful for this

    Re-reading the gpp, I assume the arg confusion was true in earlier editions of Python so maybe worth seeing how it handles the question as applied to those earlier editions.

GPT != Chat GPT, GPT-4, etc. It’s possibly to [“just simply”] train a GPT on whatever corpus you want.

  You can train GPT 2 on whatever you want, it will give you the wrong answer for everything. The real magic arrived with GPT3, which is proprietary, so it's fair to assume your audience understands this and imply it.

    GPT-3 is opensource. GPT-4 isn't. https://github.com/openai/gpt-3 https://github.com/openai/gpt-3

  For reference this is what I meant, either use some GPT-like LLM or pass on a large prompt of data previously scrapped into OpenAI GPT-4 as it currently accepts ~8k words for input in the paid plan.
