Has anyone made experiences with AI Coding tools especially with tools that are capable of mastering wikitext and the specific integration of js in TW?
This general discussion may be of interest: AI Generated Content on talk.tiddlywiki.org and Can I get talk forum and gg dataset to train AI?
I think AI bots are good for brainstorming, creating some boilerplate code and translations. That’s the main things I use them for.
I did some experiments some time ago, with TW wikitext and different AI bots. I did give it a big junk of TW formatted wikitext and told it to translate it to German, but keep the wikitext formatting.
It translated well, but after 3 or 4 paragraphs it switched to markdown syntax instead of TW wikitext syntax. – This test was about 6-8 months ago. Since it failed miserably with simple wikitext, I did not try it again.
From my point of view. Similar things happened with wikitext UI code. It does create something, but the quality was not good. Most of the time it did create something that did not work. For me finding bugs is more time-consuming than writing something from scratch.
Just some thoughts and as I wrote “6-8 months ago” is a very long time for LLMs
Wikitext sample is too few on the internet. That’s why promote TW to more users does matter. More users = more AI power for community.
And I mean generate the “WikiScript” part, like widgets.
That is fine I think, because we might switch to markdown by default after all, for basic markup syntax
