[olug] Do you use ChatGPT or other AI tools?

[ndjstn at gmail.com]

I use whisper more than chatgpt. I find my self fiddling with code every time I ask for something to the point that I feel like I am editing and not writing. I just made a python tkinter wrapper and send it api requests instead of using the site. It doesn’t seem to throttle as bad.
