PyQt Digest, Vol 226, Issue 4

[Michael Ampofo Amoh - Gyebi]

Bars and ChatGPT both use big data to make their calculations. In essence,
they need a lot of other people's code to train on it. We all know that
there is very little of PyQt source code on the internet. Perhaps there
isn't even a tutorial online for the task you were asking them. On the
bright side, I hate them robots, I hope we have a nofollow code or
something that prevents them from being trained on our future data.
