Hello everyone, welcome to my first longer scripted and heavily edited video on this channel! I put quite a bit of work into this one (as you can probably tell), it certainly isn't perfect by any means though, but that's fine as it is my first video of this kind. I decided to try and find out whether ChatGPT is any good at teaching how to mod a game (or teaching how to program in general I guess). To be precise I wondered: Is it possible to learn how to mod a game by only using ChatGPT as a learning resource, no other modding tutorials or something like that. You can see how that went in this video, I also explain all of the problems I ran into and also all of the background knowledge needed to understand what is going on. I end the video with my thoughts on how well learning with ChatGPT works, whether I would recommend learning modding (or programming in general) using artificial intelligence. Enjoy!

I haven't released the mod yet, but when I have done so I'll link it right here I guess, so stay tuned!
