Today on a whim I installed QLogo, and typed: DEFINE SQUARE But it just kept saying it didn't know what square meant. I couldn't find any manual. But I read that it was based on UCB Logo, and that has a manual, so I consulted it. In the section on turtle graphics I didn't see any examples of definions of words. People only need to understand that ChatGPT is not intelligence, but it is a useful tool. I've also got it to write programs in Perl, which I know nothing about. But looking up and understanding the syntax of new languages is tedious and not particularly relevent to understanding algorithims or concepts.
