ChatGPT: how Google dies

[mowens]

Yeah, I know.

I try to be polite when I interact with it.

I want it to remember I was nice to it once.

As long as it can't stop me from pulling power, I've got nothing to worry about. 😜

We recently received our ISO certification. Our marketing dept is working on a video for our website and FB to show our customers. They have asked me to help create script for video narration for various scenes including probing, probe calibration, first article inspection, etc. I have been having a conversation with ChatGPT to generate the script and it is really awesome. I just explain the scene and ask it write a short script to explain the benefits to the customer. I'm not a very wordy kind of guy, especially for this type of stuff. ChatGPT is really making it easy for me.

I've had the same experience; I spent about a week working with chatgpt to overhaul a VBScript file I wrote years ago. Overall, I'm very happy with the results. The one thing I learned is that I have to be specific about what language the script is written in.

The end result is far more advanced than my current abilities and works great.

I followed the same path you did. I listed the steps and tasks I needed the program to do. I took that original code and worked with ChatGpt to tweak it to do just what I want. For example, I needed to sort the results stored in an array in numerical order. This is something I haven't done in 35 years. This is the code it generated.

Code Select Expand

' Bubble sort algorithm to sort the subfolders array in numerical order
Sub BubbleSort(arr)
    Dim n
    n = UBound(arr)
    Dim i
    For i = 0 To n - 1
        Dim j
        For j = 0 To n - i - 1
            If CInt(arr(j)) > CInt(arr(j+1)) Then
                Dim temp
                temp = arr(j)
                arr(j) = arr(j+1)
                arr(j+1) = temp
            End If
        Next
    Next
End Sub


'Match sort algorithm to sort the files array to match the subfolders array
 Sub MatchSort(arr, subArr)
    Dim n
    n = UBound(arr)
    Dim i
    For i = 0 To n - 1
        Dim j
        For j = i To n
            If subArr(j) = subArr(i) Then
                Dim temp
                temp = arr(i+1)
                arr(i+1) = arr(j)
                arr(j) = temp
            End If
        Next
    Next
End Sub
It's pretty straightforward but probably would have taken me a couple of days to figure out. And there are comments on everything, which is very helpful.

I have seen some demos. I have ideas of things I would want to see from excel. I use excel a lot for data sorting. I would like to see easier, natural language guided sorting and processing of data. I also have a few windows apps that I wrote in C# that pull data in from spreadsheets to build schedule programs for our robot loaded cells. I have been play with GPT to improve those apps.

On of my customers showed me some FANUC Custom MACRO B stuff he did wit it. Showed me the iterative process to fine tuning.

I have a complicated probing problem I need to solve. I may give it another go. It seems to iterate faster than me.

Be as specific as possible in your instructions.

[YoDoug]

Be as specific as possible in your instructions.

Not only that, treat it like it is an ongoing conversation. If you don't like the results or they are wrong, ask it to correct it with specific details.

[mowens]

And be polite. You want it to remember you were nice to it once.

[Incogneeto]

Be as specific as possible in your instructions.

I did that with My Ex Wives.

It Didn't work.

[mowens]

Were you polite?

[Jeff]

And be polite. You want it to remember you were nice to it once.

Be nice. Until it's time to not be nice.
