EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click any links or open any attachments unless you trust the sender and know the content is safe. You can use AI to help with this, though I don't think ChatGPT is built out for this kind of work due to its interfacing approach. There are other AI systems you can try. There was a Code4AI pre-conference this year and the presenter was using TensorFlow to talk about/show off AI. So you would want to look into the various AIs available and see which ones are being built/trained around the kind of work you want to do.
