At a toy scale, using ChatGPT's Code Interpreter to do some programming for fun can be an exercise in getting what you want from an inconsistent worker by changing the problem definition (prompt engineering).

This is sort of like:

* writing an exam question so the person taking the exam is likely to get the answer you want

* guiding someone in a code interview that isn't going so well, without giving away the answer

* being in the back seat while pair programming, except you're not allowed to take a turn at the keyboard
