I have ChatGPT create 20 sentences for a new word I want to learn, works super well with Anki.

Front -> Word. Click button, shows random sentence out of 20.

Back -> Word and sentence translation.

The trouble with ChatGPT is that it can produce wonky sentences sometimes, and as a learner it can be hard to validate that. Most of the time it’s great though, just need to be cautious and ideally find a way to validate the content it generates (in my case I can run it by my wife).

I use ChatGPT to check my answers to the exercises in my textbooks :)

I had ChatGPT fail on basic Spanish sentences, to the point where I with week of Spanish could tell it's wrong (as it, basic grammar was mangled).

I can't recommend it for language learning at all, I'm afraid. :(

Wait...how do you do this in Anki? The randomization part.
Anki supports HTML and JavaScript so technically anything is possible.
