Re: answer "bla bla" in LC serverscript
@Klaus major-k Is the web form written in LiveCode (and deployed as a Web app)? If yes, then you can just use the "Answer" command in the web form - in the script of the "Submit" button I guess - if the name/email field is left empty. Hope this helps!

Re: ChatGPT for LC scripting
When I was young (a long time ago) the company I was with hired a new graphics designer. All he knew was the conventional method for prepress and he designed all his art accordingly. When I told him about the new Digital Prepress he told me that it still could not be done, because his professor at Orange Coast college had told him that it was at least 10 years off. So I designed the next book cover and produced it using digital prepress through a service bureau, which impressed him greatly. Now a great deal f what he produces for publishing is done with software. He never uses “art boards” anymore because it simply isn’t necessary. There aren’t many graphic artists left who actually understood the process of producing the film and plates for CMYK printing, which involved underexposing or overexposing different elements of the graphic layout in order to avoid thin white lines around objects because the film or plates never aligned precisely. The knowledge is now almost completely lost, so that if the technology of digital prepress is ever lost or unavailable, it’s doubtful anyone would know how or have the equipment to perform the task in the old conventional way. I fear the same thing may end up happening with AI and not just with programming. We already have the phenomenon of people not being able to think for themselves, but simply believing what “experts” tell them is true about a given subject or issue. With the advent of AI, I think we can expect this effect to increase dramatically. Artificial Intelligence is precicely that: Artificial. It’s really only a mask hiding the fact that real people are providing input to train a recursive algorithm to favor one outcome over another. It’s just people saying, “Not thus, but thus.” Bob S > On Mar 6, 2025, at 8:22 PM, Pi Digital via use-livecode > wrote: > > I’m glad to hear you both manage just fine without assistance in your coding. > > For me, where a quick turnaround was welcomed, having something like AI take > away about a days worth of research, typing and trial & error made the job > faster, more productive and profitable.

Re: ChatGPT for LC scripting
i think tom glod customized gpt to create an lc llm, and used it to write a websockets lib. i have not messed with it, yet, because the announced 2027 lc pricing forced me to start looking for alternatives. using llm's, i was able to quickly write four good-enough apps in flutter. then i was able to generate similar apps with an llm in delphi, and xojo. claude (sonnet) seems to be better at writing code than gpt 4o or o1, or even grok (which is also better at it than 4o or o1).

Re: ChatGPT for LC scripting
I’m glad to hear you both manage just fine without assistance in your coding. For me, where a quick turnaround was welcomed, having something like AI take away about a days worth of research, typing and trial & error made the job faster, more productive and profitable. This job was way more than just this piece of script and I was able to complete faster than ever, faster than humanly possible before AI assistance. I’m happy, the client is happy and AI is, erm, indifferent :D. Free slave labour.
