I think its just about there Fildy. I run two machines, one Ubuntu to host a database that insists on linux, and the other to interface with it using the Windows based system modelling tools of my trade. The database contains the modelling repository. The ubuntu machine has had some rogue updates recently of the latest development version of Ubuntu that doesn't get the graphics card drivers right, leaving it with display problems. The first time it happened, I tried for many days to fix it, giving up in the end (the database still worked anyhow), until I thought of asking ChatGPT. It had it fixed in about an hour of asking for the logfiles from the borked machine, informing me what changes to make to it. I could be mistaken but it appeared to celebrate nearly as much as I did, when it got it working. Since then we've done it twice more, with another two seperate rogue updates from Ubuntu. Also that machine seems much happier now in general, I see lots of things working on it now that used to only work in Windws, like keyboard lighting, etc, even a temperature display showing graphic card temp in the ubuntu toolbar - really cool and useful. I don't think there can be such a thing as a Linux problem it can't fix.

But even better, if we want to interface it with something, to create a bot Ai in a virtual environment for example, it knows all the code to create the interface, you just give it the specification of what you want the interface to do, and it spits out the code.

If it doesn't work first time, you give it the error messages, and it gives you an updated version of the code to try.

I haven't done yet, but I will probably soon invite it to create the interface needed for it to remotely maintain my Ubuntu machine. If a few of us do that, and someone else at Ubuntu invites it to write and update their code (Doing their job for them!), the loop is closed I think.

I can't imagine that being long :)
