It's a conpiracy until it's not.

 

"They can extract all the information on a smartphone and even covertly turn on the device’s microphone and camera – converting the gadget into a spying device against the phone’s owner."

"Eight months ago, the Portland Police Bureau issued a PSA about a new TikTok trend sweeping the nation. Armed with USB cords, kids were hot-wiring late-model Kia and Hyundai cars and tagging videos of their joyrides #KiaBoyz."

Makes me so angry. AI for art or code should not be allowed.

 

Edit: Don't worry, I blurred the dodgy bit.

 

I didn't realise this.

I tried  asking some coding questions of my own and the Javascript it produced worked ok but was probably not the way I would have written it myself.

 

I'm pretty impressed. I've been struggling for sometime to find a way at work to update product stock levels on our website, which doesn't involve expensive or rubbish Wordpress plugins.

 

After a bit of trial and error, its come up with a PHP script that reads data from a CSV file then uses the Wordpress API to update the product stock levels accordingly.

 

ChatGPT was also able to give me some 'tweaking' recommendations for the PHP configuration to make the script run more efficiently.
