    This is my first article on my new website (fullspeedpython.com) which, as the name implies, is a website about Python.

    It's an introduction to numeric data types in Python (int, float, complex), but I also explore a little bit of details on some modules and talk about some of the CPython's internal details.

    It is also the first time I used ChatGPT 3.5 to help me write content like this. I used it for suggestions on what topics I could talk about, some examples, to learn about things I didn't knew, and to suggest changes for some sentences (as I'm not a native english speaker). As I read now, only the Introduction feels machine-generated (although it was manually written - with chatgpt suggestions, ofc), but the rest of the text feels (to me) my own voice, as it is in the same vein as other content I have (for instance, on my blog). I'm a fan of ChatGPT!

    Thanks, and I hope someone likes it! :)
