Looking For Guidance. Need better advise than what ChatGPT provided.
My goal for this post is to make a thread to help other users after using AI/ChatGPT to decided what tools to use. I am a couple weeks into asking ChatGPT for guidance on making macros. I ask a lot more questions about concepts, optimal decision making, and optimal workflows rather than asking for code. I have a lot of college student level scientific python experience, so I am pretty good at programming logic. I have read many discussions here and will now summarize what I have observed here so far. Experienced users prefer AutoHotKeys v2 for its syntax, although AI is not good at helping with it. Experienced users say AI does not provide optimal guidance and directions to new users regarding what tools and techniques to use. My general goal was to gain a new skill, but my specific goal was to make a macro to play Universal Tower Defense for me. ChatGPT is definitely biased toward directing users to continue using the same program/AI and any previously discussed requirements. Consequently, it does not recommend users utilize libraries to do basic things like move the camera. I started by using Pulover to record and edit macros. ChatGPT eventually directed me to use Pulover to make my own functions for doing mouse cursor jiggles followed by a click+delay to making clicking buttons in games more reliable. In my experience, since I chose to use Pulover, which uses the older version of AutoHotKeys, I got more helpful results because I was asking for Pulover GUI directions and conceptual help regarding clicking and timing rather than code. The thing that ChatGPT did that wasted my time the most was when it told me to NOT use a python script to normalize the formatting and do tagging+count repeating spam clicks in my partially cleaned Pulover recorded macros after using notepad++ to find and replace recorded clicks with my clicking function. It wanted me to continue using notepad++ for that. This is context to learn from. See my next post for my specific questions.
