[Koha-devel] ChatGPT and Koha

[Uwe Dierolf]

Hi all,

yes, ChatGPT is awesome.

I asked ChatGPT to write a Koha plugin that places some javascript code
into pages of the staff frontend.
The code was as expected as far as I can say this, cause I never
developed a Koha plugin but it was pretty similar to the code which you
can find in the KitchenSink plugin.
Then I asked the Bot to activate the javascript only on specific pages having
a specific page id. Looked also very convincing.
Last but not least I wanted to know how to create the kpz file and got
an answer too.
Perhaps ChatGPT can produce the code for the vue.js based frontend.
Or perhaps copilot already can do this ;-)

Best regards, Uwe
