Show HN: A working GPT-generated Hacker News extension to highlight new comments

3 pointsby hmsimhaover 2 years ago
I worked with ChatGPT to produce a very simple extension for Hacker News.<p>Each commit contains my prompt in the commit message, and the commit is entirely composed of ChatGPT output (it took 25 prompts to get this repo to its current state)<p>No files were changed at all from what ChatGPT suggested, but the `gpt-output` file is an append-only log of ChatGPT&#x27;s verbatim output (so you can select any commit and see exactly what was prompted and what ChatGPT responded with)<p>I&#x27;m using this extension now, and it works<p>I was hoping to get a sense of whether ChatGPT could debug its own code, and fix bugs, and to my surprise, it can! I had to prompt it to tell me where to put debug messages, and then provide the error output of course.
