Have a code error checked, on simulations

Use described publicly by L’Etudiant — Chloë, PhD student, Université Grenoble-Alpes (12 October 2026), summarised by the desk. Not tested by iadujour.

The result to aim for

Chloë, PhD student in mathematics applied in Grenoble, uses Codex as an "auditor": "As soon as I have an error in my code, whether I do not understand or want to optimize it to go faster, I use theIA. »

What was done

Student (Yslande Bossé, October 12, 2026). Last year of thesis; simulations. "Time is my priority. If I was 20 years old, I wouldn't use it. Distinct from Linda (synthesis of article) and Drene (Perplexity). No language or deposit is published.

Before you start

Tool cited by the source: Codex; other tools cited: ChatGPT. Fill in the bracketed items: [coller le message], [10 lignes]. Strip confidential data that is not needed and check your tool’s access terms. Features and plans can change.

The method, in three steps.

  1. Gather the context

    Spot the bracketed items in the prompt ([coller le message], [10 lignes]) and prepare what they ask for.

  2. Adapt the prompt

    Copy the prompt below, replace the bracketed items, then paste it into Codex or ChatGPT.

  3. Reread before using

    Reread the result, correct it if needed and keep the final decision. Caveats are detailed below.

Your starting point.

Replace the bracketed items, then adapt the proposal to your situation. This prompt is written by the iadujour desk It is not a quotation from the source.

The prompt to customise
Error (facts): [coller le message]. Extract (without personal data): [10 lignes].

Say what breaks, then a minimum correction. If the cause is not in the extract, say so. Do not invent any simulation results.

What deserves your attention

A correction generated is not the result. Repeat the simulation and reread each change before using it.
Origin of the case. Use described publicly by L’Etudiant — Chloë, PhD student, Université Grenoble-Alpes (12 October 2026).
Proof level: Testimony published by an identified source. Source checked on 10 November 2026. Use described by the source, not tested by the desk. Original summary written by iadujour.fr: figures and claims are the source’s; the prompt is a desk proposal, not a quotation.
