I am considered one of the first group of people to use ChatGPT. I registered for it 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 on Lin Mumo's blog that he wrote "Which book have I finished writing" and I understood the principle: to get the total number of words in all articles on the website, and then see which range your word count falls into, 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 can be found in the article "Total Word Count of Blog". This confused me, so I immediately sought help from ChatGPT.
I first sent the code from Lin Mumo's blog to it and explained the code principle.
Then, I asked it to modify this code to make it usable for WordPress, but the modified code 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 the entire code at once due to the character limit, fortunately, it succeeded.
I posted the complete code and explained how to use it.

}
Add the above code to the function.php file in the theme file, and add the code where it needs to be called.
<?php echo allwords(); ?>
I currently put it in the footer.php file and it is 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. This is the process of me using ChatGPT. The effect is shown in the following figure.
