Note that the book uses python 2

Interesting potential use case for AI: automatically rewrite the code in a book like this for python 3 vs 2. I know that’s not trivial, but seems like a very trainable use case
We don't need to cram AI into every possible technical corner in existence. It shouldn't be the first solution suggested for every problem that arises.

There are already Python 2 to Python 3 converters that don't use any AI. It's usually unnecessary.

But, and hear me out, converting this book from Py2 to Py3 using AI might be fun for the person doing it.
