I tried getting ChatGPT to write gcode for a procedural FDM print, thinking I might get an interesting artefact out of it.
It did generate valid gcode, but it just moved the nozzle up and down repeatedly without extruding anything. When I pressed it, it first claimed that it had done what I asked, then told me that I needed to make a 3D model and use a slicer.

@ancientjames Maybe it was drilling a hole :P

(Were there maybe some non-FDM-appropriate codes in the result?)

@robryk It looked valid, just not useful. (I looked at the result in a viewer rather than sending it to a machine...)

@ancientjames I would expect a viewer for fdm to simply ignore e.g. spindle on/off commands, and if chatgpt was borrowing from some g-code for milling/boring/... going up and down might not be that silly.
