[pmwiki-users] How good (and usefull) is AI at writing basic (or not so basic) PmWiki code ?

[ABClf]

Thank you Petko for your comments ;
you are right, but I think I (and everyone) would be able to get something
better next time, if using a better prompt than the one I have used for
quick and dirty testing.
As a non coder, who does need many little things, AI is very exciting.
I have had pretty good results (I believe) with Deepseek for AWK scripting.

Also, yes, Grep cookbook was the way to go ; I haven't seen it as the tool
I wanted and your reply was helpful to switch on the light.

Gilles.
