Re: RPG and AI

Chat GPT, I don't know anything else.
I'm completely new to AI, I haven't been following what's going on at all.
I don't know what an LLM even is.
I was looking for a way to convert a JSON schema to tables and fell upon a
JSON converter for ChatGPT.
Anyway, I copied and pasted a complex schema in the chat and after a while
it confirmed it was complicated and asked if I would like to see
information about specific objects. I was able to give it the objects I was
interested in, and copy the result directly into a spreadsheet. After
analysis, I gave it back the spreadsheet data and asked it to create
physical files (using the json names as aliases while generating its own
field names from these) and a basic program that read from the file.
I needed fixed form code so I specified RPG400. Came back with a lot of
Z-ADD and MOVE operations. I said go and do it again with EVAL and it did.
