Happy Friday the 13th!

I have decided to slightly change up my personal weekly summary posts.

I have been using ChatGPT more and more and really find it to be an important tool. It saves me so much time with debugging error messages and digging through docs. It can also keep very good track of what I've been working on and thinking about. Because of this, I have decided to update the way I do the weekly summary. I am going to let ChatGPT generate a personal changelog of everything I have been working on. It's not perfect so I do have to edit it some but it still does a better job than I could ever do.

So with that, here is my weekly ChatGPT changelog:
