I'm having a similar experience. Talking to ChatGPT is like talking to a slightly crazy person that has read every book and every github repo. Sure, occasionally they hypothesize a really incorrect answer, but they also bring out a lot of subtleties that even field experts sometimes don't know. It is a huge help while learning.

Same for me. I was amazed by the ability of ChatGPT. My first experience of ChatGPT was an assistance with the cover letter for the position and it gave me few paragraph that I modified to my own. It was nice to have a feedback from it that I can ask about the tone of my letter and response, it provided valuable information for me to improve my writing. Now I use ChatGPT for scripting help especially LaTeX. It took me 3 weeks to produce a "Hello World" PDF 5 years ago and it took ChatGPT to provide me the completed tex code within 15 minutes few weeks ago. Ever since, I been exploring a lot of LaTeX syntax and see how much I can do with it with ChatGPT help. Now, I am learning about using `hyperref` package for interactive fields in PDF. I have produced few Word document for forms with tables in the past (tables in Word is a complicated b*tch) and used external PDF editor to add the interactive field for form filling. Now I am working on converting those Word documents to LaTeX. Also, ChatGPT is a big help with AutoHotKey script & UserScript for TamperMonkey. I told ChatGPT of my intention and what I am trying to do. It produced the script exactly what I expected to work. ChatGPT is a amazing tools to use for a lot of thing.

  can you share videos of how you do prompts to get AutoHotkey scripts and TamperMonkey scrips ?

  > Also, ChatGPT is a big help with AutoHotKey script I've tried that extensively, with no luck. I have some experience with AHK1 and wanted ChatGPT to basically convert scripts to AHK2. It's pretty much a loop: first response gives a syntax error. When I reply with the error message, it apologizes, explains where the error is, and gives another solution. That solution has different errors. When pasting the error message, it apologizes again, and gives a third version with syntax errors. And then it starts with the first version again, and I can repeat the loop.

    Yeah, I had the exact same experience. I am surprised how bad it is with ahk scripts and wonder why. What is indeed "original" is that it gives code with unexisting functions, which it never does for the other languages (in my experience). Perhaps the language is not that famous compared to js or C but i doubt. There are tons of forums discussing issues... Strange.

      ChatGPT relies on examples to get the idea of what to do. Likely that ChatGPT don't have enough samplings across the web to know how to convert it. Even through there are documentations and man pages, but they tend to lack examples of how to do it. Usually I see in forums and discussion board that they are snippets of code that didn't provide enough context of the whole script. ChatGPT is doing its best to provide the code based on the knowledge it has. Perhaps it didn't scrap AHK scripts enough to provide a better code? Possible it didn't have enough information of how to convert ahk1 to ahk2? If that is the case, then it would be best to start fresh.

    I recently discover Plind [0], it is a ChatGPT that specialized in programming. It managed to get me a specific code that actually work with keycombo that ChatGPT struggling to produce. Maybe Plind can help you out with that? [0] https://www.phind.com https://www.phind.com

      this is amazing, so far getting great results with this

    Same. I think it's due to a lack of example code on the web for it. There's some, but nowhere near eg Python.
