I headed back to the ChatGPT chat and probed for a couple of minor fixes, but it seems that ChatGPT's already given up the ghost on our wonderful new IDE from Thursday.
Any and all requests were met with output that ran at around 3 or 4 fps, even on my high end MacBook Air, let alone anything running on a slower system.
And, though JSE does run "better" on higher spec'd systems, I have very much tried to keep things stable and smooth on as many systems as I can.
The Quest 3 is slightly below the specs that it'll happily run at, but even that can typically play the lesser powerful games at a decent enough framerate.
.. Just don't ask it to do the Optimisationalism tests!!
I need the IDE itself to be as painless as it possibly can be, and when the recent bouts of ChatGPT output were rendering at ludicrously slow frame rates, and being horrendous to the battery.. Well, that's not good.
So it seems my adventures with the chatbots is more or less over at this point.
I'm now at the stage where everything's going to be done the good old fashioned way, and I can't rely on the AI any further.
But it helped on a couple of the major hurdles I was having. I reckon I can more than likely get everything working myself from this point, as long as I keep one eye firmly on the performance of the syntax highlighter, and focus on optimisationalism! .. Because we know how much I love that bit. Finding the little nips and tucks, and tweaking HARD to get a good engine going.
Thanks for all the help, ChatGPT.
And as I type this, I'm remembering something I was coding last October, and thinking to myself....
.. But then considering that I'd have to be able to handle copy+paste, and managing mouse controls and all the rest of it, because it isn't just "text input", it's a whole entire Text Editor GUI.. and I'm going ...
Nah, best not..
[chorus]
I don't think that would work.
No! I don't think that would work.
It's a daft idea, and it's really really bad.
So I don't think that would work.
[break]
[verse]
I could try to steer a car with just a joystick. (No!)
I could try to build a bridge with just a straw. (No!)
I could try to make an aeroplane from a wooden stick and glue,
But in the end I guess they'd fail, because they really wouldn't work.
[chorus]
Oh.. I don't think that would work.
No! I don't think that would work.
It's a daft idea, and it's really really bad.
So I don't think that would work.
[break]
[verse]
Stick my fingers in my ears so I don't hear the fire alarm.
Poke a stick into a beehive to retrieve some lovely honey.
Maybe flap my arms ferociously, so I can fly away.
In the end I guess I'd fail, because those really wouldn't work.
[chorus]
Oh.. I don't think that would work.
No! I don't think that would work.
It's a daft idea, and it's really really bad.
So I don't think that would work.

[bridge]
Click to save my database before the battery dies.
Protect the mushroom kingdom without losing any lives.
Reduce the spam I get by simply clicking Unsubscribe.
But in the end I guess they'd fail, because they really wouldn't work.
[break]
[outro]
I don't think that would work. (though I never tried)
No! I don't think that would work. (It really shouldn't)
It's a daft idea, and it's really really bad. (It is!)
So I don't think that would work. (No it wouldn't)
No I don't think that would work.
Int. Dave's Games and ScrunchCakes - Main Shop Floor
[The arcade is bustling with customers. Dave is running between the counter and the games, while Green manages the queue for ScrunchCakes.]
Dave: Kewlykewly! Another busy Saturday!
Green: Dave, we need more Purple Pumpkin Scrunchin' from the kitchen!
Dave: [shouting] Brian! More purple!
Brian: [from the kitchen] They're nearly ready.
Child: Mommy, my tongue's tingly!
Customer: These cakes have no e numbers, right?
Dave: Don't worry, it's all part of the experience!
Customer: No, really, what's in these things?
Green: That was just the popping candy one, she'll be fine.
Dave: [laughing] If she starts glowing, let us know.
Customer: You're joking, right?
Dave: The glow is what makes them special!
[Mrs Thompson emerges from the kitchen, coughing, covered in purple]
Mrs Thompson: Slight Purple incident in the kitchen.
Green: Define [air quotes] "slight".
Mrs Thompson: The kitchen is now mostly purple.
Customer: I think I might need to speak with the hygiene folk.
Dave: Don't worry, it's only purple. Purple is KewlyKewly!
Customer: What even is it? Blackcurrant?
Green: It's a trade secret, I'm afraid.
[Brian, covered head to tow in purple, emerges from the kitchen with a tray of vibrant purple ScrunchCakes]
Brian: There. I hope you're happy!
Customer: I think my daughter might be hallucinating.
Dave: No, the purple people are all real.
Green: Dave, focus on the customer's issues.
Child: My tongue is alive!
Brian: Is she ok?
Customer: I'm reporting this to the local paper.
Dave: [beaming] Free advertising!
