I gave ChatGPT a job to do

Hi pop pickers.

As you'll probably know, i've been creating websites for quite some years now (the links below show some of them).

I wanted a plugin that would display any notable things happening 'On this Day' on my website home page. Kind of a Historical diary. 

I put my thinking cap on, composed a prompt and asked ChatGPT to create it. I had to invoke the ChatGPT agent to go out and scour the internet for the code requirements.

Within 3 minutes of 'researching', ChatGPT created the plugin for me. I uploaded it and tested it. It worked! 😎

So, to the doubters, here's a great use for AI that saved me hours of coding, and solved the exact problem I gave it.

If you would like the plugin for your own website, let me know in a reply to this.

See ya later
