I was writing code for a Raspberry Pico and a beginner at it. The Pico is hooked up to a little display with no documentation other than a few horrible convoluted and broken-english examples with hundred line functions, and I had no idea what to do to just display some things on this little screen.

So I simply dumped the code examples into ChatGPT and said "Given these examples that display text and boxes on a screen, can we write a simpler interface and straightforward small functions for the display code?"

And it was done.

This wasn't code I wanted to mess with, I really just wanted to build my application rather than spend any time messing with the code to interact with this proprietary display. It was fantastic!
