A One-Page Ledger Method for Generating Voynich-Like Text

[Dunsel]

Now, to digress about your use of AI.

I don't really understand your problem—or rather, your rambling statement about AI in general. What tool you use to quickly generate code (I usually write mine myself without any tools) is completely irrelevant as long as you indicate what was used and how. It's also advisable to critically review the code for potential weaknesses (as has been done). Whether the code is any good in the end is something everyone can check for themselves, and if the results from different sources point in the same direction, all the better, right? There’s no need to fear the “ban hammer” here, unless an entire theory is “externally generated” and then just thrown out there.

Agreed.  You just seemed a bit concerned when you said you used it the first time.  Trust me when I say you are not the only one.  If I'm generating code, I'll use Codex in VS Code then load it up in Thonny or run it CLI. I can follow python but don't have the experience to write it manually and get the syntax correct. That and Codex can do a UI in Tinkter which would take me weeks. If I'm writing code, Netbeans (php) or Lazarus (pascal).  I also goof off with C3. I will use ChatGPT to, as it puts it, "surgically repair code."  Quite often, Codex will get the code working but screws up UI's, especially in php when HTML and CSS get thrown in. GPT is pretty decent at fixing code.  If you go to the link in my signature, that's a WordPress plugin that Codex created and GPT did the patchups.
