I used ChatGPT a few days ago to build a python script that takes a link in my clipboard and runs a yt-dlp command to download it to one of my Plex folders. Had to fettle a few details, but all told it took me about half an hour from start to finish.

I have absolutely no idea how to write a python script, so I'm incredibly happy with the output.

However, I'm not trying to use it to get paid, so I guess that's OK.

I think this has something to do with it . You're using it to accomplish something, and not over-billing your skills for a fat cheque.

That, and also, it's a very straightforward, narrow-scoped functionality. LLMs are pretty good with that kind of thing. It's complexity they struggle with

I'm using it to make stealing content from YouTube even more efficient, so I can watch videos on my Apple TV without having to pay them a stupid amount for premium, or having to tolerate the obnoxious number of ads.
