I hear it writes programs; can it help mods? can one take existing and make it better? Not sure how it works, but from what i did read, might have huge implications here. Cars, tracks, changes, updates? might make the whole process way faster and easier? Has anyone looked at this? Is there a avenue that could be exploited here? I read its open to the public for use?
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT for software and it does some astonishing things. It relies on enormous amounts of data from (in the case of software) Stack Overflow and the like and I don't think that's around for sim modding. A small example: I asked it in C#, create a method that takes a game name, a circuit name and a car name to return a hash and then in C#, create unit tests for GetGameInfoHash This is its response Code: Here is an example of how you might create unit tests for the GetGameInfoHash() method: using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting; namespace MyProject.Tests { [TestClass] public class UnitTests { [TestMethod] public void TestGetGameInfoHash() { // Test the GetGameInfoHash() method with a variety of inputs Assert.AreEqual(GetGameInfoHash("F1 2020", "Monaco", "Mercedes"), -1864537176); Assert.AreEqual(GetGameInfoHash("Forza Horizon 4", "The Goliath", "Lamborghini Huracan Performante"), 1469741247); Assert.AreEqual(GetGameInfoHash("Gran Turismo Sport", "Nurburgring", "Porsche 911 GT3 RS"), -1084508699); } } } The tests would work just as well with dummy ipso lorem text but it "understands" that I am writing software for sim racing and put in realistic text strings. Incidentally it's still using GPT-3.5, GPT-4 is expected sometime this year.
Eh, it might speed up creating the base text files for mods (maybe filling out dozens of veh files for skins?) but i doubt it would be useful for something actually important/sensitive yet, like an hdv file or a sound json. Something to keep an eye out for sure.
