Working with ChatGPT is like working with an optimistic colleague who takes one step at a time and takes feedback really well.

It is funny how it would say, "You are slicing..." when the code was written by ChatGPT just five minutes ago. However, with a bit of tweaking, I got a working program. - Ah, good catch! That’s due to a change in the crate structure in the newer versions of bip39. The MnemonicType was moved or renamed. - Ah yes — another subtle change in the bip39 crate! - Ah! Got it — thanks for catching that. The issue here is that in the newer bip39 crate versions, Language is an enum, and its word list is not accessed via .wordlist() anymore. - Ah yes — this error means you're slicing a string (&bits[..entropy_bits_required]) at a character index that doesn’t exist.
