ChatGPT Test Run (VBA)

The first time I've used ChatGPT was around the last week of March. I asked it to make a hangman game that I could embed into PowerPoint. As I expected, it created a VBA code for me, and I knew that it was a template.

Now that I got that done, I went ahead and created the objects on a PowerPoint presentation. I entered the code provided to me, and tweaked it a bit. I added variables, and after about an hour, I had a working hangman game, which I could modify. I imagine it would have taken me possibly six times as long to finish the game without ChatGPT's code. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience. The code was easy to read, and easy to modify. While you do need to know some basic coding knowledge to complete the code it provides, I can see how valuable it can be if you want to learn how to code. I tried having ChatGPT create SuiteScript code, which looked fairly decent. Getting a reservation to SuiteScript training is pretty difficult, even if you are a NetSuite employee. If I don't have opportunities to learn the syntax, perhaps ChatGPT will be enough to make me an expert at it. I intend to use ChatGPT to learn SuiteScript and possibly other coding languages in the future.

I asked ChatGPT a few more questions, but unfortunately, I saw that it wasn't perfect. It didn't know everything there is to know about NetSuite. So asking humans is still better. I wonder how powerful GPT-4 will be. That would be even more interesting.
