beach: Hopefully this document <https://gist.github.com/no-defun-allowed/f79ea6e211b5f078e349c53937b5be74> is more successful at explaining how to adapt the "partial read barrier" idea for Common Lisp.

I've been trying openai asking it to code some common lisp. Sometimes it makes mistakes but performs quite well

I have to convince the first years at university that ChatGPT is getting their logic homework wrong, and not the first years.

I haven't tried it with other programming languages but there may not be enough samples for common lisp to learn yet

They've yet to learn to get the computer to do it. Well, I guess ChatGPT is "getting the computer to do it", but I mean to write programs.

One student asked something like "What is P(P(P({1, 2})))" (where P is the power-set function) and ChatGPT got it all wrong. Maybe asking ChatGPT for code to compute the power-set would work better though.

In general I hear asking it to "show working out" works better, but it did show its working out for that prompt question, and the working out was all wrong.

ChatGPT indeed makes mistakes on various kinds of problems, and rectifies them if you point it out, but I cannot be sure if the rectification is correct

but yeah, I think many people end up with a defclass* that has all their various specific needs anyway

I think this library: https://github.com/robert-strandh/Constrictor is close to being complete.

This is what I have done so far: https://github.com/robert-strandh/Constrictor/blob/master/Code/TODO.text

making ChatGPT do things being like '“You’re saying it wrong,” Harry heard Hermione snap. “It’s Wing-gar-dium Levi-o-sa, make the ‘gar’ nice and long.”'
