Anyone using an AI tool to write dragscripts?

Has anyone used an AI tool, e.g., Perplexity to write code for a dragscript?

I know “everyone” says dragscript is easy, but it’s not for me. I have tried and failed, I am not a coder or programmer and have no interest in learning to be one.
I have had a paid licenses for several years and except for playing with (and getting it to work) the focusing, I haven’t used the advanced version of Voyager and Viking to run my rigs.

I have two scopes, on in a dome and the other in a roll of roof building. I really want to get some use out of my licenses and restful sleep whilst Voyager looks after my rigs.
Thanks!
Kevin

Here (from my Cloudy Nights signature) are details of my setup:

Takahashi TOA 130 – Imaging scope, Takahashi FS 60Q – guide scope on a SB Paramount MX + mount

Optec FT30HC Focus Lynx Kit; Alnitak Flip-Flat; ZWO ASI 174MM (mini) guide camera; ASI2600MM; ZWO 36mm filter wheel; Astrodon filters: LRGB and 5nm SHO; Sky Roof and SkyAlert for ROR; Intel NUC 8 i5 computer at scope.

AG Optical 17"iDK on an AP 1600GTO with encoders; ZWO ASI6200MM camera with ZWO 2" 7 position filter wheel, Astrodon filters and OAG-L with ASI174MM mini guide camera; Optec Gemini focuser/rotator; Alnitac Flat-man 24" light panel; DDW for Ash dome – hardware and software;

TheSkyX Imaging Edition; PixInsight, Voyager (Advanced), Viking, APCC, PEMPro and all of RC Astro’s tools.

You cannot use AI to write DragScript because DragScript is not a language but a drag and drop of action and conditional blocks.
You do not need to be a programmer to use, just question of logics.

Look at the perpetual dragscript, its ready out of the box to do robotic 24/24h 7/7days operations.

All the best

Leo,
Thank you for the quick reply. What you wrote makes sense.
Where do I find the Perpetual DragScript"?
Clear Skies!

Not only can AI NOT write a DragScript for you, but it will claim it can, then write you something that doesn’t work (it can’t even be read by Voyager), then apologize for doing it, then claim it can again.

What’s more, most of its directions on how to do it yourself are COMPLETELY wrong, and/or made up (as in things it says to drag over don’t exist).

The example section is a great starting point, and then some help from other users (saved my backside) for the “interesting” stuff.
