ChatGPT rewrote Themify WPS code
cereal_killer:
Hello, I like the Themify theme for the iPods very much and would love to use it on my Shanling Q1. Until now I just changed a few lines of code to themes I wanted to modify, but never rewrote a complete WPS file to convert a theme.
So I tried to let ChatGPT rewrite the code for a screen with a resolution of 360x400 (see attachment).
What do you think. Is the output correct?
ChatGPT failed to rewrite the SBS code. Maybe I need to give it more information.
Frankenpod:
What a strange exercise. Would be interesting if it worked. At first glance I don't see how this line
%dr(387, 27, 9, 18)
could be valid if the player has a resolution of 360x400
cereal_killer:
It was more an experiment than a serious try. CatGPT corrected this to
%dr(351, 27, 9, 18)
I would have been surprised if everything would have worked out perfectly.
But what are the next steps for converting? Adding touch areas? Adjusting the sbs and resize the bitmaps proportionally?
Frankenpod:
Don't really know anything about using ChatGPT. It does sound like the sort of thing, in general, that it might be able to do.
But the process of converting resolutions is pretty damn mechanical anyway so you could probably write a strictly traditional procedural sort of program to do it (which I did think of attempting, when converting umpteen themes, but couldn't be bothered in the end) - whereas, whatever it is that ChatGPT does (which I gather is more complex than that?) seems like it might be overkill and could actually be _too_ creative, i.e. would end up adding nonsense that 'looks' right but doesn't work.
But yeah, all the bitmaps would need resizing as well. I've never dealt with touch enabled players but if the Q1 works that way, that would be needed, I guess - and that bit seems something that would need more than just a mechanical process, it would have to "think" about how to do it...be interesting what it comes up with.

I've chatted with Dave Barkan a bit about using AI for themes, I will say I'm not a fan of AI nor using it for this stuff, from his experiments though I could see it just isn't suited for making themes and makes a lot of errors (I imagine due a lack of training data on the subject).
If you were to convert the theme for the Q1, it would be pretty difficult. I take full responsibility for that, the theme is quite complex and not well documented. I did actually try to port it to the Q1 myself, but I found it hard to get it to look right in the WPS. It's something I would like to take a go at again someday. With the different aspect ratio screens it would require a rebuild from scratch, or at least a re-write of each part to be designed for the screen ratio.
