Training the AI to write better LiveCode

[Bob Sneidar]

Sooo... it's ARTIFICIAL intelligence, meaning there's a programmer behind it telling it how to respond, or else how not to. Obviously I'm not a huge believer in AI. It seems more like WIKI to me.

It could be an immensely powerful tool in bringing LiveCode to a wider audience. (In case you haven't already wasted hours of your life playing with it, you can ask it to write a LiveCode script for any specific task, and it will take its best shot, with very passable results).

It gets the script mostly right but there will be issues that a beginner would not know how to correct. We would love it if the community could help it learn to write beautiful, correct, LiveCode. To do this, it needs feedback. We asked it how to give feedback and this is what it suggests:

>>>>    • You could also contact the openai team to share more detailed feedback and suggestions
>>>> In any case, clear and detailed feedback is helpful in understanding the problem and improve the model.
