I just ask my problem bro...chill....

Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
It's Python what ChatGPT has helped me from almost zero prior knowledge, and I've managed to create a (probably shitty) script that works with OpenAI's API, uses classes and functions and can do things like recursively summarizing a text until it's below a specific token count, among several other things. As time went on, I required less help and I could implement more changes on my own.
I had prior (non-ChatGPT) Bash, PowerShell and BATCH knowledge.
It's true that ChatGPT has bamboozled me several times with wrong code, but unless it's something too complex, it get what I need in a few tries. For more complex stuff I have to use smaller more specific queries and in some cases I still Google things, but it's usually my last resort.
In any case, I frequenly ask ChatGPT for a detailed explanation of what does the code do, mostly because I want to clearly understand what I'm using, and it helps me learn new coding/scripting stuff.
