    $\begingroup$ @eddy ardonne - At the time I used ChatGPT, the WL it produced was pretty bad, both syntacticaly and struturally, but that was already a couple of generation of CHatGP ago. I have not gone back to see if it has improved. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 11 at 19:55
  • $\begingroup$ @David Keith - Yes, it does an excellent job of commenting code. You can control the level of detail in the comments through your prompts. It can also structure files appropriately for .nb or .wl use. Additionally, I have it write version description notes with usage instructions and references as a separate document to include in my workflow. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 11 at 19:59

    $\begingroup$ @Lexington1776, I would guess ChatGPT has improved a lot since then. For me, GPT-5 has been really helpful with coding in Mathematica, and translating Mathematica to C++, but that's beside the OP. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 11 at 21:16
