Out of curiosity, what AIs are writing the code for these two projects? Does it burn through tokens with say these 4000 lines to keep track of?
AI is only good for coding if you're using a premium version of ChatGPT's Codex. I think every AI is using tokens, so yeah, it's not cheap at all. You can do it for free, but it's not as good.
A simple code like adding Original Work Box wit ChatGPT Codex:
Free: you're out of tokens after an hour at best
Go: 2-3 hours at best
Plus: 5 hours or so
Pro: 5+ hours, not sure how many tbh
If you're using the ChatGPT website it can write you prompts for free, and you can use that in Codex to save an hour or so, but you have to ask it to stop overexplaining everything and give you much fewer status notifications. With that you can save some tokens.
My honest opinion is this. I use Plus because I got 1 month for free, but even with Plus, it took me a whole week to release this version of the script, and I had to fix a LOT of things in the code plus the design.
In short, even if you give Codex a free ChatGPT prompt, it's not going to be perfect because you need to do a lot of testing, bug reports, and ideas that you have to write down properly so it won't misunderstand you. So, it's not like you can say, "Write me a code like Better MDL" and it's done in an hour. So yeah, it's much faster than doing this 100% manually because it can write scripts much faster, but the bug reports and testing take a day or two.
I spent like 2 days only on the friends' boxes. 😅
