Are AI chat bots not good with TouchDesigner?
I’ve tried several different models for general beginner/intermediate support and, more often than not, the answers are incorrect, suggesting use of non-existing parameters or even Operators.
Yeah…NO!
I tried doing the same last year and got nothing but hallucinations, even when I reduced the requests down to really simple stuff like “how do I display a circle?”
Sure, the LLMs can ingest the wiki and extrapolate what it thinks are potential solutions, but I suspect because TD isn’t text based (like most other coding frameworks), the models have nothing to “learn” from as there are literally no examples that they are able to “understand”
Right, so it’s not just me then. Good to know 
I had the same issues you with several chat bots (Claude, Chat GPT, etc), but recently I’ve used the last version of Chat GPT and it surprised me
Good to know, thanks 
I’m curious if there would be interest in developing an Model Context Protocol server for Touchdesigner? I think this could be accelerated by the upcoming VS Code language support, feeding those stubs or LSP docs into a context to translate into MCP?
I don’t currently use Claude but that would be the forerunner for all computer control/AI tooling.
