Why are you actively trying to avoid learning how to write the loop? Are you planning to have ChatGPT fill in your loop templates for the rest of your life?

First, how is this different from having your IDE fill in your loop templates?

Second, no, of course I learn how to do it and then copy/paste from my existing code like a normal person.

Third, this is much more customizable. The example I gave is pretty simple, but you can explain algorithms to ChatGPT and have it figure it out.

Finally, I'm usually doing this for a customer in a language I'll never use again. Last week it was LabView. My role has me writing proofs-of-concept for customers frequently so I'm not going to learn something I'll never use again.

It’s going to be slower overall than just using the reference and learning how to do it.

Not when you're not familiar with the syntax and don't have an IDE set up for it.

other than people who are just impressed when you can do anything with a computer.

This happens in my job a lot more than I'm comfortable with.
