Hey y'all, I'm very atrocious at coding and was wondering how reliable chat gpt would be for coding a vex servo motor in intervals, as I haven't found the ample help here. I no know if chatgpt would know how to produce credible code, any suggestions? Thank you in advance~

If you're no good at coding, how will you be able to tell if ChatGPT gives you garbage, or good stuff?

Using generative AI to do anything you can't do yourself is a recipe for disaster. As @camsysca points out, you won't be able to tell when it's making stuff up.
Generative AIs are fantastic at producing plausible sounding, well written answers. And if they have any relationship at all to the truth it's simply a bonus.

I don't think that you ever asked anything about vex servos on this forum. Here are some google results that might get you on the way: arduino vex servo - Google Search.

You just go right ahead and see how that works.
How much time have you got waste anyway?
Just don't expect me to help you with that.

@avery_needs_help_pls Although @GoForSmoke sounds pretty mean, the reality is helpers here have found that for the most part, ChatGPT just makes our job harder. As a result, many, including myself, avoid helping on ChatGPT-generated code. Sorry, but that's the reality of it. By using ChatGPT, you're saying you can't/won't make the attempt to learn, and if that's the case, why are we helping?
By the way, don't come back with code that was ChatGPT-generated, presenting it as your own, because it has a peculiar 'smell', and deceit will get you nothing but silence.
Make an honest effort to code what you're looking for, then come back and tell us what it does/doesn't do; a schematic will likely be needed for all but the simplest project.

Here is your answer
When most people get some idea that they've found a shortcut, it is best not to humor them. They will waste your time and keep on not being serious.
Let Them FALL. Don't help them up until they start to realize why they fell or they will repeat what doesn't work as long as they get help.
If that's mean, it's not as bad as the alternative of wasting months or years with a polite smile never being real.
If you put forth a real effort it is possible to learn faster than bumbling along on half-fast advice regardless of where it comes from.
If you don't THINK, you don't LEARN. Depending on advice, which might help... that's avoiding THINKING.

Yeah. Preach to the choir, go for it.

Terrible. You will never get the same answer and all the answers will be flawed. Learn to code and you can write hobby programs in less than an hour.
