First time AI coding attempt - Failed. Why?
Howdy,
I had my first attempt at python coding as a learning opportunity. I thought itd be easy, but ive failed.
I ran a marathon https://tomatotiming.racetecresults.com/results.aspx?CId=16&RId=30022&EId=4
The marathon results are spread over 55 pages.
I want to use AI to create a table with all runners in a single table. I can then interrogate the data. Second phase is to include the splits as well, but we'll get to that later, maybe.
I have gemini enterprise, but aren't allowed to install any python libraries or use googlecollab (i dont think we can use collab, i should double check).
I have a personal Android phone.
Ive tried over 40 times, and the best i can get gemini to create code for is a bookmarklet that downloaded the first page (so, 50/~2725).
My attempts have been either in coding part of Google ai, gemini enterprise, gemini, or letting Google collab try to fix the code.
Is this actually a surprisingly difficult task?
Theres basic errors like incorrect spacing, defining a table with the wrong header (eg assuming it says gun time instead of net time), and then a whole host of errors that it says is caused by anti-bot protections... and a host of excuses like old version of xxxx, or, incompatible browser header, just instability, etc.
How do I get Google AI to show me how to do this without installing any software on my corporate laptop?
