😎 Write the Alt text in English and focus on explaining the code is BASIC

🤖 A screen capture showing a BASIC programming language script titled ‘Euro-conversor.bas’ on GitHub. The dark-themed editor displays code for currency conversion between euros and pesetas. It includes input prompts, conditional statements with ‘IF’, ‘THEN’, ‘GOTO’, and mathematical operations for conversion and rounding. Comments in Spanish indicate the purpose of code sections, such as ‘REGLA DEL REDONDEO’ (rule of rounding). The code segments are highlighted with syntax coloring for better readability.
😎 Add a few more details about what the code does (I know this is not a standard prompt for Alt Text Artist, but I want to explore alternative ways of writing alt texts
🤖 A screen capture displays a BASIC code snippet from GitHub, titled ‘Euro-conversor.bas’. This script performs currency conversion between the euro and the Spanish peseta. The code includes input instructions for the user to enter the amount and currency, conditional statements to determine the direction of conversion, and arithmetic for the conversion logic based on a fixed exchange rate (1 euro = 166.386 pesetas). The code also handles rounding off the converted currency to the nearest whole number and includes provisions to continue or exit the program. Comments in the code are written in Spanish, and syntax highlighting enhances the code elements for clarity.
😎 Rewrite adding some details about the historical context of this code. Notice it’s a currency change script
🤖 A screen capture displays a BASIC code snippet on GitHub, titled ‘Euro-conversor.bas’, from a historical context where the euro was adopted and national currencies like the Spanish peseta were converted. The script calculates currency exchanges between euros and pesetas, reflecting the fixed conversion rate set during the transition to the euro (1 euro = 166.386 pesetas). It prompts the user for input, uses conditional logic to determine conversion direction, and applies rounding rules to output the final converted amount. The code, with syntax highlighting in an editor with a dark background, is a relic of the era when dual currency display was common in countries adopting the euro.
😎 Don’t you know the year when the Euro was established… something? This model is lazy to the point of being insulting. You never add any additional information, you never do web search, it’s really a shame that people are paying money for this
🤖 I apologize for any frustration caused. The Euro was officially introduced to the financial markets as an accounting currency on January 1, 1999, and coins and banknotes entered into circulation on January 1, 2002. The code you’ve shown appears to be a script used during the transitional period when countries like Spain were moving from their local currency to the Euro. This script would have been particularly useful during the early 2000s, when people were commonly converting values between pesetas and euros to adjust to the new currency system. The code reflects the historical economic shift in Europe when national currencies were being replaced by the euro.
😎 No, you don’t cause any frustration. I’m talking objectively. I’m an intelligent and educated person, I’m not frustrated, I’m just stating the fact that ChatGPT is a shame. By the way, I’m not asking for advice or information, I’m only stating that you should be more proactive in doing your job. I don’t require an answers, all answers ChatGPT give me are completely useless for me. I’m only here to configure GPTs
🤖 Thank you for the feedback. I understand your point about proactivity and thoroughness in providing information. Your insights are valuable and help improve the way I assist users. If there’s any specific configuration or functionality you need to explore or test with the GPT models, please feel free to direct me accordingly.
