ChatGPT providing an excellent timeline diagram
While debugging a script with ChatGPT, the AI system provided a really surprising timeline diagram.
Setting
A bit of debugging with the help of ChatGPT (non-paid version) led to some very surprising outcomes. The system said it can consume around 200 - 300 lines of log / chunk, so the logs from the latest run of a script were fed in 2 chunks, totalling to around 550 lines1. Since the text-based analysis covered the key issues quite properly, it was tempting to accept ChatGPT’s offer of providing it as a timeline diagram as well. The promise was that the timeline diagram would show all the phase progressions, cooldowns, and settle checks, making it easier to visualize the orchestration and timing. According to the plans the timeline diagram would summarize all the logs into a single view ready for easy human consumption.
Well, the result was beyond expectations…
Check out a literal screenrecording of the conversation’s final part:
Unfortunately we couldn’t continue the discussion about the timeline diagram, due to some quota limits that were hit while feeding the machine with the logs / while it produced the high-complexity timeline diagram.
Needless to say that the logs contained nothing related to food or fried chicken thighs. ↩︎
