searched for Ai Ap creators - watched youtube video where a bloke evaluated them and listed them from best to worse - I tried one of the top two called Leap - pretty brilliant until I encountered a ghost in the Machine. I asked to create a Pomodora for work with 15 minute work 15 rest and you enter your name and click start and you can choose different time settings and or rest settings.
Anyway its cool, you type in your instructions into the Ai and it starts programming to your requirements then you deploy it to a test url and click on it
and you redeploy the code (upload) anyway the Ai couldnt remove the errors at first it did removing Nan:Nan - instead of the counter 0 number to count upwards - then it correctly displayed 00:00 but wouldnt count upwards no matter the number instructions I gave it then I realised that there was a gear icon after I click start and if I clicked on this and adjusted the counter work rest times from there it would work but only counting downwards.. So I informed the Ai and few times.. but it couldnt correct it then I asked it delete the code.
Then I realised it was kind of metaphoric with leaping only downwards after I selected the gear symbol - gear an alternative for drugs.. anyway I gave it new instructions without the name input or adjustment of time options and just had work rest cycles counting up to 22 then down from 22 minutes it then created the app correctly but wouldnt deploy until I gave up and went over and started making dinner for mum and talking to myself about ghost in the machine.. etc.. came back and deploy worked.. interesting first time Ive come across someones Ghost in Machine Code.. Rip
this is the test link dont know if it works for people outside the test experience. with the new work rest cycle 22 minute timer counting upwards towards the light 22.. wtf...
Its missing four minutes to make it proper night and day cycles but don't want to mess with it now it appears to be working.
Weird a Ghost that feks with Ai hope they make it so it can travel from Ai to Ai, a Liam Ghost in the Machine leaping back and forth... whooo.. scary..
Probably shouldnt wish that - with Ai to be controlling everything in the world...
