Thank you for the feedback! I can see now how it could be confusing.

The reason we used chatgpt is because it's an easy starting point - why read through examples when you can get the one you want in seconds?

Because dlt is a library, it's closer to how language works and gpt can just use it - from our experiments, we cannot say the same about frameworks.

That example looks completely opaque to me. Not only does it obfuscate what's actually happening by using some incomplete code from a chatbot, but it also is an actually relevant to the task at hand, which is to demonstrate your library, not to demonstrate some beginner level API data access. Skimming over it, I couldn't tell where your library actually got involved at all, it just looked like a couple of functions to access data, followed by links to your documentation. I suggest dumping the whole thing and starting with a more coherent demo that focuses on the features of the tool you actually built, not on features of irrelevant systems.

Yes I agree. Based on what they show compared to what they say, I'm not really sure what this library actually does.
