I Tried "Vibecoding"

The thing about ChatGPT, JohnK, is that it's a tool. Under your instructions, it would probably be capable of generating code that meets your standards. As someone said before in this thread, if the one at the helm is an experienced programmer, the result is much better.
 
I used duck.ai to generate a bunch of scripts that I would be unable to make, unable to afford pay someone for the task, and that nobody would have coded for free. That was a huge relief for me, but even though I am not able to code I could realize the scripts were excessively redundant, eventually they worked but better watching somewhere else...

[No sarcasm]. I never had any doubt, JohnK, about you being a much better programmer than ChatGPT, as you have just demonstrated.

I appreciate that but that's not really what I was getting at. ...short version: I don't think chatcpt can come with the logic behind the `aif()` above. And yes--a small amount--I am truly wondering if my logic--or it's--is flawed (I had 'no retort' because that entire response was contradictory and mostly incorrect) because the pinch points it laid out are not the same as I would. And I certainly wouldn't have made code to write code (but that's a guess/feeling at this point because I only really saw the config file logic).

For the record: I am not a programmer (I work in an entirely different field).
 
I've changed my mind. I will not make any more tests. This topic bores me. Everyone has their mind already set and I'm not a proponent of any sh*t in particular. My experience has been explained; the scripts have been shared. Period.
 
Sorry to hear that.
I'm finding this topic fascinating and, nor has my 'mind been made up' but I guess I'll have to conduct my own tests then, but I--being not a current or former professional programmer--cannot get it to do anything logical. So, even it's from a perspective of "self-validation" I want to see if I can get it to code up something better than I can. ...I am not a programmer, I don't get paid a bunch of money, I have a "free" education (-i.e. based on whatever free information I could find) and if this tool can be used to further my education, then I'm all for it (I just need to know how).
