Using OpenAI chatGPT for .lua programming

[DmitriyBlade]

i want suggest to try the quite impressive thing
it is not that good for a cmo, it takes many variables from DCS, which i guess uses .lua too
and there is not that much code on github to learn from

I think you have to train it on the Command Lua API?

I have a number of my staff looking at ChatGTP to possibly write reports and develop dashboards. Its one of those things that gets people all excited until they have to use for something real. There needs to be some kind of extension for CMO-based lua. Even if you have that, there are still big holes in ChatGPT for anything thats nuanced. It misses lots of detail and everything we have executed so far has taken more work to clean up than if an analyst just wrote it. I suspect lua coding would be similar.

It might get there in time, but its most likely a couple years away from being a true productivity tool except in the most generic applications.

Reminds me some time soon I gotta go update my Sumneko + Emmy partial intellisense attempt for all the updates in cmo in the last ~year, so much to get caught up on, maybe I'll wait for next milestone since it's apparently coming soon™.

How might one go about doing this?

I have updated some functions that create errors with parameters, I have created a new class for FillMagsLoadout function,etc. If you need it you can send me a dm and I'll be happy to help you.

I've been using ChatGPT for basic universal coding things and cleaning up my code. So you can stuff like naming ships or picking a point between two coordinates, and it generally comes up with stuff that works in CMO Lua. Obviously, it doesn't know CMO-specific things and is not sure training it would be worth it as its beta and may someday go behind a pay wall or get reset etc.
