I'm a proficient programmer. I can read code (mostly) and I can write code that functions (usually un-optimized). Things like ChatGPT and Co-Pilot have been a Godsend in improving existing tools and new tool development.
I had previously build a tool/script to perform every part of TPL-001 automatically. My first iteration included a poor utilization of Pandas. It threw deprecation warnings and errors all the time. Took days to debug if/when it broke.
This Spring I wanted to redesign the whole thing. I used Co-Pilot (with ChatGPT) to help code some specific functions I was struggling with in the original version. I thought about how the data structure needed to be and the ideal output format. Fed that into the AI. In a 1000 years I never would have come to the result the AI did.
I don't feed in power system data. I describe, generally, the problem/data I have and how to process and present it.
