When you say it's failed completely what do you mean?

I've been translating between c# and python and having a great deal of success at the function and class level. I even ported unit tests easily between xunit and pythons unittest library. I've got close to 100% test coverage so I'm fairly confident it's done well



translating between popular mainstream languages is not usually an issue.

translating a 20yo project written in a language that isn't used much anymore is a lot different


We should upload VB6 projects to GitHub.


Failed as in it produced not working code that would take longer to fix than if I re-wrote it myself. Or, in the case of user interfaces, the generated UI code simply was useless and did not even resemble the original UI.


aren't the tests also written by chatgpt then?


But they are confident everything is done well!

The code looks good, and that's a great success. What else would you like?


ship it.
