I thought it would be interesting for you all to see an actual workflow and see ChatGPT in action. It was not all bad, but it's at least intermediate level in his opinion.

I think the joke about "prompt engineers" might not be that far off the mark.

He had got ChatGPT working for a simpler workflow - download and extract text from a PDF file[1], so it was not all useless.

BTW, here is how the programmer did this process manually[2], just in case you were curious
