Part 8/11:
GPT-Driven Code Generation
A particularly fascinating aspect was prompting GPT-3 to write code snippets itself, such as:
Reading multiple files and chunking them
Correcting OCR errors using regex
Automating calls to GPT-3 for JSON generation
This approach exemplifies how AI can assist software development, particularly for repetitive and rule-based tasks.
Error Handling and Refinement
Despite progress, errors emerged—such as missing file creation, encoding issues, and limitations in handling complex OCR artifacts. The developer responded by:
Adjusting file encoding parameters (
UTF-8with error-ignore flags)Implementing robust existence checks before file writing
Incorporating regex patterns for character deduplication
