AI writing code

Rhino AI

Who is writing code with AI? Can GH connect it seamlessly?

You can use Chatgpt to generate python scripts and integrate it to grasshopper

Ok, let me try it, I use a free DeepSeek, and there are errors when generating. Maybe I’m too weak.

Not really, although LLMs can be a useful tool these still don’t actually understand code. These tools are useful for getting ideas and pointers. But always check the generated code before using it (and any reasoning). The LLMs still make mistakes and will propose code that doesn’t work, or use API that does not exist.

So be sure to read the code, understand it, and make changes where necessary.

That’s right, my friend. I’m trying to figure out how to write it

Some advice from my experiments:

  • Start small with little tasks which you know how to do.
  • Start a new conversation if it takes a wrong path, tell it what not to do as well as what it should do.
  • Don’t be afraid to just throw away the code and give up
  • Try different types of tasks
  • Look for patterns with when it succeeds and when it fails.

My good friend, I will take your advice

I wrote a quick script that connects chatGPT api to rhino python directly, then executes the code. Maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree and grasshopper would be better. It actually has saved me a lot of time (mostly busywork/repetitive tasks, nothing modelling, but still)

Can you share your script

Out of many attempts I only had one success in AI helping me to achieve something.
Recently, I have asked (CoPilot and ChatGPT) for writing me a Python code to read all worksheets from given Excel file. 20 attempts, nothing worked.

To be frank, I’m 1) not surprised, and 2) happy to hear that.

These tools are still nothing more than fancy search engines. There is no actual understanding of the matter, regardless of how convincing generated responses may appear.

You will still need to use your own skills to make proper use of the outputs, to understand what is being generated, what is correct, what is incorrect.

You’re right. It takes a lot of trying to get it right
