GHATGPT / LUA generation ...

[DickFiddler]

Hi Guys.

We want an addon for WotLK 335a Trinitycore ... so lets try with ChatGPT3.5

A description of the desired addon, and the generated code are below. Cannot get it to run (tried different clients and servers - its the code not the setup (later... wrong!)).
A TOC file and LUA file were added to the addons folder (/AuctionBot). The addon is visible in the addon screen, and selected. All other addons turned off.

Hi Mike! (<<my name for ChatGPT)
We were thinking about a WoW addon.
The target client is WoW335a.
The addon in question detects when people offer items for sale with a message such as "WTS [linked item]" into a specified chat channel, and will proceed to auction the item, verbally, into the channel with the message "THANKS SIR! NOW AUCTIONING - [linked object]. Who will start me off at 1g?". The addon will then detect bids from other players in the form "1000g" or "50 gold" (for 1000 or 50 gold), or "10s" (for 10 silver) or "1c" (for 1 copper) noting the bidding [player name]. The addon will prompt 3 times for more bids with "Any more for [linked item] - currently [highest bid]." On a winning bid (the highest bid after 30 seconds of no bids) the addon announces "THANK YOU [player name]. You win [linked item] for [highest bid]." Humans would then arrange the collection, delivery and payment.

The generated code (which I asked for a terse version of) below:

1. AuctionBot.toc

2. AuctionBot.lua ...

local G = "GUILD"
local function AIL(event, m, a, _, _, _, _, _, c, _, _, g)
    if c == G and string.find(m, "wts %[(.-)%]") then
        local i = string.match(m, "|H(.-)|h")
        if i then
            SendChatMessage("THX SIR! NOW AUCTIONING - "..i..". Who will start me off at 1g?", G)
            local p, b, t = nil, 0, 30
            local function ABP()
                t = t - 1
                if t == 0 then
                    if b > 0 then
                        SendChatMessage("THX "..p..". YOU WIN "..i.." FOR "..b, G)
                        -- TODO: Arrange collection, delivery and payment.
                    else
                        SendChatMessage("NO BIDS FOR "..i, G)
                    end
                elseif t == 10 or t == 20 then
                    SendChatMessage("ANY MORE FOR "..i.." - CURRENTLY "..b, G)
                end
            end
            local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
            f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function() ABP() end)
            f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(_, e, b, n) if e == "CHAT_MSG_CHANNEL" and n ~= a and c == G and tonumber(b) then if tonumber(b) > b then p, b = n, tonumber(b) end end end)
            f:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_CHANNEL")
        end
    end
end

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_CHANNEL")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", AIL)

Is there anything obvious?

We have a .toc file so far (File 1) ...

## Interface: 30300
## Title: Guild AuctionBot
## Version: 0.1
## Author: ChatGPT / LitchLight III
## Notes: Automated bidding and selling process for in-game items.
## Dependencies:

AuctionBot.lua



MIKE:

Hi there! It sounds like you're planning to create an interesting WoW addon that can automate the auction process for in-game items.

I see that you've started with creating a .toc file. This file is used by WoW to identify the addon and provide information about it, such as the version number and author.

Next, you will need to create the AuctionBot.lua file that contains the actual code for your addon. This file will need to listen for chat messages in the specified channel and parse them to identify when someone is offering an item for sale.

Once the item is identified, you will need to use the WoW API functions to create an auction for the item and manage the bidding process. You can use the SendChatMessage function to announce the auction to the channel and prompt for bids.

To manage the bidding process, you will need to track the current highest bid and the bidder's name. You can use the SetAuctionBid function to place bids and the GetNumAuctionItems and GetAuctionItemInfo functions to retrieve information about the auction.

Finally, you will need to determine when the auction has ended and announce the winner to the channel. You can use the OnAuctionClosed event to detect when an auction has ended and the highest bidder is the winner.

I hope this information helps you get started with your addon development. Good luck!


ME:
The auction will take place only in a chat channel ... no items will be listed on the auctionhouse. The process is a game to be played by guild members in the /guild channel.

MIKE:
Thanks for the clarification! If the auction will take place only in a chat channel and not on the auction house, then you will not need to use the WoW API functions for creating and managing auctions. Instead, you can focus on listening for chat messages, parsing them, and announcing the auction and bids in the guild channel.

To listen for chat messages, you can use the ChatFrame_OnEvent function, which is called whenever a chat message is received. You can then use string manipulation functions such as string.find and string.match to identify when someone is offering an item for sale and extract the item name.

To announce the auction and bids, you can use the SendChatMessage function with the guild channel as the first argument. You can format the messages to include the item name, current highest bid, and bidder's name as appropriate.

To manage the bidding process, you will need to track the current highest bid and the bidder's name, and use a timer to determine when the auction has ended. You can use the C_Timer.NewTimer function to create a timer, and when the timer expires, you can announce the winner to the guild channel.

Remember to also include error checking and validation to ensure that the addon handles unexpected situations gracefully and does not cause any problems for the players.




ME:
Understood.
Mike ... can you please produce the code for the .lua file?
Please use short variable and function names (for instance "auctionItem" would be "aI"). Please do not include comments (to save space).
[^^ This was done because of the low token limit on GPT3.5 free).


MIKE:

Certainly! Here's an example of the code you could use in your AuctionBot.lua file. Please note that this is just a basic outline and you will need to customize it based on your specific requirements:

local aI -- auction item
local hB -- highest bid
local hBN -- highest bidder name
local t -- timer

local function StartAuction(itemLink)
  aI = itemLink
  hB = 0
  hBN = nil
  SendChatMessage("THANKS SIR! NOW AUCTIONING - "..aI..". Who will start me off at 1g?", "GUILD")
  t = C_Timer.NewTimer(30, function()
    if hBN then
      SendChatMessage("THANK YOU "..hBN..". You win "..aI.." for "..hB.."!", "GUILD")
      aI = nil
      hB = nil
      hBN = nil
      t = nil
    else
      SendChatMessage("No bids for "..aI..". Auction cancelled.", "GUILD")
      aI = nil
      hB = nil
      hBN = nil
      t = nil
    end
  end)
end

local function UpdateBid(bidder, amount)
  local gold, silver, copper = string.match(amount, "(%d+)g?%s?(%d*)s?%s?(%d*)c?")
  local total = tonumber(gold or 0) * 10000 + tonumber(silver or 0) * 100 + tonumber(copper or 0)
  if total <= hB then
    SendChatMessage("Sorry "..bidder..", your bid of "..amount.." is not high enough. Current highest bid is "..hB.."g by "..hBN..".", "GUILD")
  else
    hB = total
    hBN = bidder
    SendChatMessage("BID ACCEPTED! "..bidder.." bids "..amount.." for "..aI..".", "GUILD")
    SendChatMessage("Any more for "..aI.." - currently "..hB.."g by "..hBN.."?", "GUILD")
    t:Cancel()
    t = C_Timer.NewTimer(30, function()
      if hBN then
        SendChatMessage("THANK YOU "..hBN..". You win "..aI.." for "..hB.."!", "GUILD")
        aI = nil
        hB = nil
        hBN = nil
        t = nil
      else
        SendChatMessage("No bids for "..aI..". Auction cancelled.", "GUILD")
        aI = nil
        hB = nil
        hBN = nil
        t = nil
      end
    end)
  end
end

local function OnEvent(self, event, message, author, ...)
  if event == "CHAT_MSG_GUILD" then
    local itemLink = string.match(message, "|c%x+|Hitem:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+|h%[.+%]")
    if itemLink then
      StartAuction(itemLink)
    else
      local bidder, amount = string.match(message, "^(%S+) bids (%S+) for "..(aI or ""))
      if bidder and amount then
        UpdateBid(bidder, amount)
      end
    end
  end
end

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
frame:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_GUILD")
frame:SetScript("OnEvent", OnEvent)

It's getting you scripts that are 80-90% of the way there, but not quite feature complete. Reading these scripts are pretty horrendous because it is using 1-2 letter variable names.

[CreativeXtent]

you can ask chatgpt to name them better. it works nice

[DickFiddler]

First, this is very kind of both of you to read through ^^ this. Thanks.

I hope you get a go with ChatGPT ... it's a great tool but yes ... there are limitations.

One of these limitations is the hard 2048 "token" limit for its returns. A token, in this context, is a word or symbol - the medium "Mike" uses to express ideas. Long variable names are token intensive. Without the measures to compress his output the LUA he generates breaches this hard limit and crashes the chat ... or just terminates half way through a program output. In retrospect I should have left his comments in, however he is able to re-comment the code if you are a GPT user, as CX ^^ says. Just paste the code back to him and ask him to add code comments.

If you discover a way to coax ChatGPT into producing all the bits we need for a working addon, it would be extremely helpful if you would share it! Also ... we actually want this addon for use as a guild activity;

1. New member says into guild chat "wts [linked-item]"
2. Addon handles the auction process as per the way TriviaBot (addon) manages a quiz.
3. Guild officers manage the transaction ... which we take super seriously. Money is no object. Man hours are sacrificed. The item will reach the high bidder or "heads will roll!"
4. We get super serious with anyone who fails to pay or deliver ... Polite messages, Threats, Finally a Bounty is offered ... "WANTED: Dead not alive! Screenshots of this person dead on the floor. BG + Dungeon Wipes are OK. One reward per player. T&C apply."
5. Perhaps the auctions stop while there are outstanding warrants?

Richard.

[CreativeXtent]

funny enough, i use AI and def chatgpt daily.
token issues are bypassed pretty easy. split code into sections for full responses and have it listed in order

[DickFiddler]

Understood.

I will have another try tomoz...

Annnd ... GPT has lost its memory ... taking all user notes with it! hahahah

A useful chat with GPT this morning about generating larger programs... should have done that earlier.


Idea: Any of you guys SHARE a GPT account? Thought that might be interesting.
Idea: [HARDCORE] addon ... Tracking players that want to try lvl 1- max with no deaths?
Idea: Running Playerbots? Wouldn't it be great if they could communicate via ChatGPT!
Idea: Not running playerbots? Fine ... why not let all the npcs have a line in GPT chatter?

^^ just me thinking.

Am still into this ... let me know if you want other short addons that might be generated... it will be a while I'm waiting for "Mike" to regain his memories lol

[DickFiddler]

So ... What we have thus far;

(NB This is not a working addon ... rather a sketch of what one might look like...)

You will notice that there's alot missing in terms of the API - stuff "Mike" thinks will work simply has no basis in Trinitycore's implementation.

The program he is trying to write steps through the "trade channel" (/guild is slightly borked here cos of another thing running that traps /guild chatter).

Not possible with TC?

Anyhoo hope you are well.

Fake ChatGPT App Goes Viral, Charges $7.99 for ‘Ad Free’ Subscription

ChatGPT has created quite a buzz among online communities, but threat actors too seem to be making the most of the obsession around the chatbot. A fake ChatGPT app has emerged on the Apple App Store — pretending to be ChatGPT while deploying a paid subscription to the free version of the chatbot.

The alleged fake ChatGPT app is charging users as much as $7.99 for weekly subscriptions to a service that already exists for free.

The makers behind the alleged fake ChatGPT app, “Social Media Apps & Game Sports health Run Hiking Running fitness tracking,” are also running other apps on the App Store that are equally shady and emit a malicious campaign, wrote MacRumors editor Sami Fathi.

While it is not new that threat actors mimic websites and apps to lure victims into revealing their data, imitating ChatGPT could be tricky as it is an AI-driven app sophisticated enough to provide accurate answers to queries, among doing other multiple tasks as instructed.

Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a conversational language model introduced in 2018 and was launched in November 2022.

Utilizing the formidable GPT-3 architecture as a foundation, this generative pre-trained transformer has been fine-tuned utilizing a combination of supervised and reinforcement learning techniques for an unparalleled user experience.

ChatGPT is trained to generate text in a conversational style and can be fine-tuned for a variety of language generation tasks such as dialogue systems, chatbots, and text completion. It can be used to generate human-like responses to prompts.

The model is pre-trained on a large dataset of conversational text, so it has a good understanding of how human conversations work, which makes it well-suited for building conversational AI systems.

ChatGPT is freely accessible to those with an OpenAI account, however, its popularity has attracted unscrupulous individuals looking to profit off its name If you want get more information read cybersecurity news
