I used GPT to generate quite a lot of throw-away code to get to the final result

Helped: Simulating sensor noise and generating throw-away code for iteration.

… This turned out to be pretty close to the final implementation (after careful reading and testing.) Because it's so cheap to do (time and money wise), I used GPT to generate quite a lot of throw-away code to get to the final result. I probably wouldn't have considered this particular approach if doing it by hand.
