Just one Task, Chat GPT Experiments

I got no where.

I heard chat gpt vibe codes so I thought I would give it a chance to show it in full. Vibe coding as a term is popularised by an actual development style called vibe code which gained recent popularity.

I gave it an interesting task. I have a script which is written in MaxScript. A type of script made to be run on the software 3dsMax. I asked it to then to take the core functionality of that script and turn it into a blender plugin. Which is python based scripting. MaxScript is well documented, and python is probably one of the most documented coding languages you could find. So it should be easy?

I would like to clarify that the MaxScript in question converts a proprietary file type into readable data and the blender plugin's goal is to export that file type.

Here is the highlights of this not happening.

This was a lie.

For some context, It failed to create a plugin that even recognises the file type at this point, so now we have to analyse the target file for interpreting by the blender plguin.

After it had been updated for "mesh handling" it then couldn't handle the mesh. The 4th suggestion it made on why it didn't work admits that the implementation was not in-full.

At this point I could not continue because I had run out of file analysis or something. It couldn't truely do it as a simple 4 input solution as it had suggested. Then followed by the ai guessing on it just working instead of verifiying with any file it was given. Truely a language model first, and vibe conding second.

Considering what I asked ai to do in this example, it's just not ready for market and it needs to be reworked in ways that make it more efficient and perhaps not solely language based, which is related to how it's developing going forward but I wouldn't call it good enough to say it worth using.
