Is ChatGPT making me lazy

Feb 20, 2024 - newbeelearn.com
The author discusses their experience using Wrangler (CF CLI) to execute queries on a remote DB and their attempt to convert the data into SQLite. They found the task daunting due to the complexity of Wrangler's output. They decided to use ChatGPT to write a script in TypeScript to extract the data into CSV. Although the initial script wasn't perfect, after providing more clues, ChatGPT was able to produce a working script.

The author then faced the challenge of compiling TypeScript for Node. Instead of installing ts-node, they asked ChatGPT to convert the script into Deno, which has built-in TypeScript support. After some trial and error, and a few modifications, a working script was produced. The author then asked ChatGPT to convert the output into TSV and finally into SQLite DB, which ChatGPT successfully did. The author humorously reflects on the feeling of becoming a 'slave of AI', as ChatGPT was instructing them on what to do.

Key takeaways:

  • The author used Wrangler (CF CLI) to execute queries on a remote DB, but found the output difficult to convert into a format that could be loaded into SQLite.
  • ChatGPT was able to assist the author by writing scripts to extract the data into CSV and later into TSV, and even converting the script into Deno.
  • The author experienced some challenges with the scripts and the SQLite tool, but was able to resolve them with further assistance from ChatGPT.
  • Ultimately, the author was able to use ChatGPT to directly convert the data into a SQLite DB, saving them from having to manually load the data into SQLite.
