Is there a good way of prompting an AI (and which one?) to create scripts for FMOD Studio ?
I tried a few times but it always failed, even after copy/pasting error messages several times, and despite the AI saying it knows the scripting API.
At the other hand, for instance, ChatGPT writes very good extensions for Reaper.
the quality of AI output depends on how many example outputs its seen, it doesn’t “know” an API per se (it’ll always claim to). the quality of documentation or prompt doesn’t really matter
for reaper, you can very easily find large libraries of scripts online without much searching; for fmod, i could only find a few examples of complete scripts, most of them are buried in forum threads here or there. most of the API was only documented over the last few releases, and you’re still expected to explore the API yourself interactively instead; so it makes sense that an LLM would have a lot of trouble stitching together correct output
Yes, it’s as leppadeer says. We’ll always try to improve our docs and examples but if there’s not a large corpus of scripts out there for AIs to train on, the results won’t be great.
