A short utility generated entirely by ChatGPT 3.5

My First Useful Mini Application Generated Entirely By AI

So, I like to watch YouTube videos on a monitor from my Windows PC while exercising with the bike.  But since I am way too cheap to subscribe to YouTube Premium, I thought it would be nice if I could issue a voice command and have the mouse automatically click on the left mouse button when the 'Skip Ads' button appears in the YouTube video. 

However, having not worked with the Windows platform for many years, I thought it would be a fun project to see if ChatGPT 3.5 can assist me with this.

This little application will have two main tasks.  First, it needs to accept my voice command.  Second, it simulates the left mouse button click.

So, I told ChatGPT the goal of my little application just as stated above.

And... ChatGPT guided me through the entire process.  From creating a new Windows Forms app with VSCode, installing required components in VSCode, running compile / execute from terminal session, troubleshooting to the final working state.   The total time I spent for this to do what I want is around 2-4 hours.

If I were to DIY myself with Googling and StackOverflow, it probably would take me a week.

It is amazing.  In no time, I just become a 50% engineer!
