I'm using chatgpt to write scripts for me to use with autoit and autohotkey.

It's so simple and fast, and you can tell it to update the script to your needs.

I would never have figured it all out and gave up trying it.

Now I'm having fun seeing how far I can get with it.

Once you have the completed script, are you able to read and understand most of it?

[–] MrGerrit@feddit.nl 0 points 11 months ago

Oh, somewhat. Both programs are mostly like: move mouse there, click, enter stone text, move mouse to that part of the screen, etc.

It's just I have an idea what I want to do, see the sea of commands I need to use and instantly lose all interest, haha.

Haha, I don't know why the downvotes, but as someone who doesn't know anything about coding and doesn't work in the IT sector, I just use the tools that are available to me.

I'm just a noob that wants to do stuff with my pc.

I wouldn't call myself an AI enthusiast but I don't see why people downvote this. Of course, some would probably say that it would be better for you to learn this instead but I think that's a false dichotomy. There's a third option: not doing it all because you don't have the time or will or whatever. In that case if AI allowed you to create something useful and even gave you some fun in the process, I call it an absolute win.

Am overall negative about AI.

Their post is on topic + not hostile/rude.

Upvote.

Downvoting because you disagree is not the way. It is also what a lot of people do anyways.
