Fun with ChatGPT

This post is just for fun. I was messing around with ChatGPT last night and asked it to generate some LiveCode script for me. Turns out, it can, sorta.
Obviously it's got a bunch of holes in it and I had to clean up the script to get it to do exactly what I wanted, but I was impressed that it spat out any code at all. Might be a fun thing to check out!
Cheers

Looks like fun… for the uninitiated, can you post a link?

For sure:
https://chat.openai.com/chat
You need to sign up (free). It's in beta right now, so short chats are free. Eventually you'll have to buy tokens, so now's the time to play. Have fun!

OK - this is fun. I said "write a bubblesort script using the LiveCode programming language".
It came up with
Code: Select all
-- Bubble sort function
on bubbleSort(arr)
repeat for i = 1 to the number of items in arr
repeat for j = i + 1 to the number of items in arr
if item j of arr < item i of arr then
swap item i of arr with item j of arr
end if
end repeat
end repeat
end bubbleSort
I then said "that should be
Code: Select all
on bubbleSort arr
local i
repeat with i = 1 to the number of items in arr
repeat with j = i + 1 to the number of items in arr
if item j of arr < item i of arr then
swap i, j, arr
end if
end repeat
end repeat
breakpoint
end bubbleSort
on swap i, j, @arr
local temp
put item i of arr into temp
put item j of arr into item i of arr
put temp into item j of arr
end swap
and it came back with
"Here is an updated version of the bubble sort script, using the LiveCode programming language:" followed by the code I just uploaded. It learns quickly.

You did. And me. And everyone who's posted code.

Morale of the story... Never use code which you haven't verified the license of first
To be fair, using ChatGPT is no different from using a human to write code for you - you need to ensure the code they have written/produced has an appropriate license to include in your software (usually by requiring them to ensure that it does satisfy a suitable license).
One wonders what ChatGPT says if you ask it to write code but with the source code license it is being provided under in a comment at the top...

Ah. Yeah, that makes sense.
I'd be curious what would happen if someone else asked for a bubblesort... did it just spit back what I wrote in my own lane or did it actually add this to its corpus of knowledge?

I would test it but can't. They've since taken it offline due to an exceptionally high demand their systems weren't ready for.

Mark, I tested your request before they the system offline and it returned something very similar to the result you had after your initial inquiry.
(did not compare word by word but there was no handler "swap" and the first line was "-- Bubble sort function", the second line: "on bubbleSort(arr)"
Kind regards
Bernd

Ah, thanks. I was guessing that it was just spitting back what I uploaded and not really learning from it.
I'm still logged onto the system but it's unresponsive except to say "Too many requests, please slow down"
