The irony is that this is not needed anymore. The plugin API simplified the config interface so much that initializing configs only differs by the used plugins and their respective configs.

The only useful thing that chatgpt provides is deriving what files in a filesystem are translation files. But a hardcoded version might be faster and more resilient.

Learning: The GPT hype is ... well hype. The amount of work that went into this feature is insane. The work boils down to software engineering. Sure, tools will emerge that make prompt engineering easier but so does the previous ML hypetrain led to endless nocode machine learning tools. Yet, there is no "disruptive everyone builds ML models" (for GPT "everyone will become a developer") nocode machine learning tool in sight. Maybe signaling that the premise of ML NoCode/GPT of "this works for everything" is not true. Deriving what files are translation files, yep. Deriving an entire config file, maybe not.
