I know I know. I wanted to import data from a web page - title and publishing dates from Stephen King books. I wanted to update my caliber library with the correct metadata from the online source.

I tried three different AI’s. Claude. Pi. And ChatGPT. I’ve spent all day copying and pasting error messages copying pasting new scripts running scripts copying and pasting error messages etc etc etc.

I could have gone line by line through my caliber library manually in much less time than I have spent doing this.

There’s no question the AI knows how to program in Python better than I do. What hope do I have of ever reducing my workload significantly using Python?

    If you don’t know Python, you’ll just waste time on this back and forth with the LLM. You can still use an LLM to answer your questions about the language, just don’t expect the generated code will run without you understanding it first.
