    Nice, this looks very promising! Is there a way to create a note? Haven't seen it in the help menu yet (but could've just missed it during my quick skim).

    If you treat LLMs as know-it-alls and just copy the output, then your expectations of the current generation of LLMs are too high. That doesn’t mean they’re not useful though.

    Definitely experienced all 3, but still getting more boost than drag overall. The large codebase context might be somewhat solvable and I've seen projects that use embeddings to fi…

    Another great example! With the out-of-date SDK, I had a similar experience. ChatGPT got me started with ManifestV2 for the Chrome extension and I found out it's getting deprecated…

    For sure! I think I learn best by trying to build something rather than following a tutorial. ChatGPT just makes that so much faster to jump straight into that.

    Agreed that ChatGPT can be a bit of a hit or miss when you ask it to produce code. But, I'd say a good 50% of the code I recently wrote was actually created by AI and I'm a lot mor…

    One Spanish episode going your way. Not sure it's Madrid Spanish, but should be decent hopefully. Let me know what you think :) https://www.buzzsprout.com/2196522/12927853

    Got a spanish episode generated. Is this similar to the dialect you'd expect? Let me know what you think :) https://www.buzzsprout.com/2196522/12927853

    Got a spanish episode generated. Generic Spanish so far, but I did see they have some dialects on Play.HT. Let me know what you think :) https://www.buzzsprout.com/2196522/12927853…

    Oh, that's a great question! I'd be curious. GPT can do decent Mandarin from what I heard from my friends testing things for me. Haven't looked into text-to-speech yet though.

    I've started taking some tutored classes from Preply, that helps. Watching shows on Netflix, listening to random podcasts also helps. But bridging this Duolingo-to-fluency gap, tha…

    Definitely know what you mean. I often end up feeling anxious about things I’m working on, feeling like they might not matter even if I solve them, or that I might not be able to s…

    Alright, I can definitely try generating that. So far I've got requests for Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Russian then.

    Thanks! This was by far the best Italian voice I've found, but definitely not perfect... The "slow" refers to the genre of podcasts like News in Slow Italian. Mostly using simple l…

    Those are not bad ideas and suggestions at all! Thanks! Let me see if I can get a French episode generated for you today or tomorrow and if you like it, I'm happy to send some more…
