An image of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, which scientists think is spinning as fast as it possibly can.The free app, called Galactic Compass, was developed by Matthew Webb and released on the Apple App Store on Feb. 15.

An image of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, which scientists think is spinning as fast as it possibly can.Now, I can easily locate the direction of the Milky Way's core using a device that is used for virtually everything else I do throughout my day.

Essentially, Webb asked ChatGPT for step-by-step instructions on how to build the app through a series of questions he input into the chatbot. He then copied and pasted the code from ChatGPT into Xcode, making sure each step was complete before moving to the next. When he ran into an error, he would ask ChatGPT for a resolution and continue stringing pieces of code together to build his Galactic Compass, he explained in his post.
