Notice regarding experimental technology and usage costs

While AI is a powerful tool, it sometimes can make mistakes just like human beings. Often AI will produce slightly different (but correct) answers for the same question.

The currently used AI engine is ChatGPT by OpenAI. Version 4.0 is slower, but produces slightly better results and less errors in complex situations, while version 3.5 is faster and more cost-efficient. This code editors support both versions and you can choose which one to use.

Editors come with plenty of free credits for most applications, but for more extensive usage you can get extra credits.
