is AI + WinBatch good?

I use ChatGPT4 daily for help coding SQL.  It's like having a fairly smart colleague
sitting next to me, answering questions.  I code SQL faster and better.

But, as you might guess, both ChatGPT4 and Claude3 do a terrible job with WinBatch.
I won't bore you -- it's all terrible hallucinations, delivered confidently.

In my day job, we are beginning to learn about adding schema to our website
to control or effect the way these AI engines train on our content.  In our case,
we would like to (somehow) get the engines to refer back to us, since we sell
a physical product. Failing that, we'd like them to buzz off.

But maybe Island Lake can actually benefit from the AI engines giving accurate
advice about WinBatch? It seems like that could only help Island Lake.

Which raises some questions to the group, in case anyone has done this before:

* Does it seem advantageous for AI Engines to know WinBatch?

* How can a person get OpenAI or Anthropic to pay attention to your content?

* is there special formatting or schema that the engines parse well?

* Would this even help? Is the corpus of training info large enough that an
  AI engine would become an adept in WinBatch?  Or it this a waste of effort?

Interesting ideas. According to multiple sources, much of the training for ChatGPT4 (and therefore MSFT's copilot) comes from an army of minimum wage grunts feeding information into the model as part of model building. I am sure web scraping plays a major role as well. That's not to mention the latest and greatest idea of using AI to train AI models. One can imagine how that might turn out.

I suspect that AI web scraping can or will be handled similarly to the way search engines are handled today. It involves the addition of special files on the web server, adding undisplayable elements to web pages, and possibly hiring third parties to figure it all out for you.

Maybe we need an AI Extender ;-)

Well, it is not like it hasn't been thought about... Just not for very long.

I'm been using CoPilot which is free so far. It does a great job with PS, .NET, SQL Sever [or general SQL] and for WB I ask for VBA code and re-format.

I can't imagine an iterative AI learning from it's coding mistakes w/out licen$$ing. According to some critics AI is basically stolen code from a huge web-scrape.

That being said, using AI to support WB CLR scripts would be hopefully appreciated.

[OOPS] forgot to mention Python, CoPilot works super with that
