new scratcher: hey AI, how do I make it so a sprite switches between its costumes?

AI answer: Step 1. take computer to a sink. Step 2. set computer in it and plug the drain. Step 3. Turn the faucet on full.

I may be exaggerating, but the AI will get things wrong relatively frequently and will likely cause more problems than it could potentially solve.

That's why you train ai. Things like chat gtp get things wrong often because the specialize in literally everything.

Nah, i think having better tutorials would work better. AI doesn't teach as well as guides. Atleast not right now. It more so just tells you what to do.

First off, You didn't tell the AI that It was supposed to be in scratch, so I'm guessing it assumed you misspelled ‘sink’

HOLD UP

I'm getting confused.

Why is step two to put the computer IN the sink????

AI is getting weirder.

Creating a one-player Pong game in Scratch where the paddle is controlled by the player and the ball bounces off the edges can be a fun project! Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you set it up:

### Step 1: Create Your Sprites
1. **Open Scratch**: Go to the Scratch website or open the Scratch app.
2. **Create the Ball Sprite**:
- Click on the “Choose a Sprite” button.
- Select the round sprite (or draw your own).
3. **Create the Paddle Sprite**:
- Click on “Choose a Sprite” again.
- Select the rectangle or draw your own to serve as the paddle.
4. **Optionally, Create a Background**: You can also create a simple backdrop if you like.

### Step 2: Set Up the Ball
1. **Select the Ball Sprite** and open the code tab.
2. **Add Movement Code for the Ball**:
- Use the following blocks:

```scratch
when green flag clicked
go to x: 0 y: 0 // Start in the center
point in direction 45 // Set an initial direction
forever
move 10 // Move the ball forward
if on edge bounce // Bounce the ball off the edges
if <touching > then
point in direction (pick random (120) to (240)) // Randomize angle after bouncing
end
end
```

### Step 3: Set Up the Paddle
1. **Select the Paddle Sprite** and open the code tab.
2. **Add Control Code for the Paddle**:
- Use the following code:

```scratch
when green flag clicked
go to x: 0 y: -150 // Start at the bottom of the screen
forever
if <key pressed?> then
change x by -10 // Move left
end
if <key pressed?> then
change x by 10 // Move right
end
// Keep the paddle within screen boundaries
if <(x position) < -240> then
set x to -240
end
if <(x position) > 240> then
set x to 240
end
end
```

### Step 4: Test Your Game
1. Click the green flag to start the game.
2. You should be able to control the paddle at the bottom of the screen.
3. The ball should bounce off the edges and the paddle.

### Step 5: Add Game Features (Optional)
- **Score Keeping**: You can create a score variable and increase it every time the ball hits the paddle.
- **Game Over Condition**: Detect if the ball goes below the paddle and reset the game or display a “Game Over” message.
- **Speed Increase**: Gradually increase the speed of the ball to make the game more challenging over time.

### Example Addition: Game Over Condition
To add a condition that resets the game when the ball misses the paddle:
```scratch
when green flag clicked
set to 0

forever
move 10
if <y position < -170> then
say for 2 seconds
stop all
end
end
```

### Step 6: Share Your Game
- Once you’re satisfied with your game, you can share it on the Scratch website, allowing others to play and enjoy!

By following these steps, you should have a simple one-player Pong game in Scratch. Feel free to experiment with designs and additional features to make your game unique!

Use of AI was rejected by the Scratch Team back in August last year after they ran a closed test of image generation in Scratch Lab. It was rejected for multiple reasons and many of these apply to all forms of AI, such as inappropriate results and bias, as well as AI being extremely costly for a non-profit organisation like Scratch. This article explains why it was rejected.

After just asking AI how to make a 3D game on Scratch (to test your theory there), it came up with:
when green flag clicked
set ground x to 0
set ground y to -100
set ground size to 300

set tree1 x to 50
set tree1 y to -50
set tree1 size to 50

set house1 x to -100
set house1 y to -75
set house1 size to 75

forever
set tree1 size to 50 - (abs(tree1 x) / 10)
set house1 size to 75 - (abs(house1 x) / 15)

Which by no means is 3D, and will not create a 3D effect. If you want to make 3D, there's a Scratch Wiki article for that: https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Three-Dimensional_Projects

Furthermore, it's full of reference errors (you can't set sprite x & y from another sprite, only read that value).

The suggestion itself was tested on an AI by BigNate469, and it is a no brainer that the code is completely wrong. This takes much more code to do, and I'm pretty sure (but correct me if I'm wrong) that a good 3D game requires the pen extension, which this AI generated code does not contain.

The code is also not specific, as it it does not say what sprite to put the code in, and things like that. That concludes me to believe that the current AI isn't trained for much advanced codes, so then there is really no point for AI, if it can only do really simple things.

Could you try asking an AI bot such as ChatGPT to generate scratch code? (I'm asking myself that) No. They can generate code, but they'll convert it to a different type.

For example, I tried asking ChatGPT to give me ideas for my game, Jump Car Game. (It's a school project) I wanted it to give the code to me in scratch form, but it was converted to python. Now, I tried searching for some website that can change python code and convert it into a scratch project. (Also, when I say python, it probably works with java too) I haven't tried that yet though. The website I was talking about is https://pypi.org/project/pystage/ by the way.

It would be designed specifically for Scratch, so this isn't a problem.

Just remember that Scratch doesn't have the resources to make an AI specifically for Scratch.

It would only waste the time of those who make it. There are forums and tutorials for a reason. Another reason is that AI runs on knowledge already in the web. If it can answer your question, someone else also can. Why not talk to a real person instead? Here is why it would be better:

• People can answer your question differently, giving more knowledge to other answerers
  You can become friends
  People know how other people work better than AI knows how people work
  AI takes jokes and fake information seriously
  AI can generate something inappropriate
  

Also, many people HATE talking to robots.
