The right tool for the right job.........

Another example, I was trying unsuccessfully to figure out how to get Excel to flag date fields earlier than present and sound a beep if one is found. ChartGPT wrote a macro for me which had me up and running in 10 or 15 minutes. I have also had several similar instances of asking ChatGPT how to configure something in Windows rather than trying to discover it by plowing through Window's myriad of commands and menus - a great time saver.

And I doubt if ChatGPT plagiarized anything copywritten do do it.
