Blog admin uses ChatGPT to build WordPress plugin for deleting spam accounts

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A blog administrator has utilized ChatGPT to develop a custom WordPress plugin for deleting inactive user accounts. The plugin, named "Zero Comments," targets approximately 100,000 registered users who have never posted comments, as these accounts were being exploited for spam and SEO manipulation. After initial challenges with Cloudflare timeouts, ChatGPT was prompted to refine the plugin, enabling it to handle account deletions in batches via AJAX calls, thereby streamlining the process for the administrator.
