You might as well just ask ChatGPT to write some code to make the flappy thing on a plane go up and down because thats the kind of quality you're gonna get.

Isn't ChatGPT just Indians in a wageslave center anyways? Or was that some other AI's controversy?

IIRC that was a cashierless store that used ActuallyIndians to tally your purchases as you put them in your cart.

Edit: Apparently it wasn't quite that bad - it was AI with humans double-checking everything, but the AI was apparently bad enough at its job that they abandoned the idea in favour of attaching the checkout scanner to the trolley.
