ChatGPT in robot development?

Yesterday was world moveit day and one of the teams built an integration with MoveIt and ChatGPT you can find here: WMD23_Quicksand · GitHub

Here is a video of their submission: https://photos.app.goo.gl/FFw3XYKXZkkXefPV9

I don’t know if they are here but their names are: Adam Seiwert, Nathan Harmon, Ilyas Salhi
