I am one of the first group of people to use ChatGPT. I registered back in December last year. So far, I have used it to help me write surveys, daily assignments, and also to ask some strange questions. Yesterday, I used it to help me write a piece of WordPress code.
At first, I saw it on Lin Mumu's blog, where he wrote "Which book have I finished writing". I understood the principle, which is to get the word count of all the articles on the entire site, and then see in which range your word count falls, and output the corresponding book. However, he used Hugo, so I asked him how to modify it for use on WordPress. He gave me a modified version for Typecho, which you can see in "Total Word Count of Blog". This confused me, so I immediately sought help from ChatGPT.
First, I sent the code from Lin Mumu's blog to it and explained the code principle.
Then, I asked it to modify this code to make it usable for WordPress, but it seemed to have no effect. So I sent it the Typecho version for modification, and it also explained the code principle to me.
Finally, I asked it to modify the code based on the above code to make it usable for WordPress. Although it couldn't generate all the code at once due to the word limit, it was successful.
I posted the complete code and explained how to use it.

Add the above code to the function.php file of the theme file, and add the code where it needs to be called.
<?php echo allwords(); ?>
I currently have it in the footer.php file, displayed at the end of the page. The above code can be freely modified according to the actual situation, such as word count, book titles, etc., and more word count ranges and book titles can be added. That's the process I used ChatGPT for. The effect is shown in the following figure.
