This light and proximity sensor using the VCNL4020 https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/vishay-semiconductor-opto-division/VCNL4020-GS08/2813348 was designed a few months ago, but we were dragging our feet on writing the library code as its kind of a tedious process. Now, with our new BFF ChatGPT4, we can crank through a library with minimal typing. Of course, we check each function and #define as it is written - sometimes typos and misunderstandings come through. But overall, it's a much faster and easier process. We wrote a full-coverage library and example sketches in only a couple hours. Here's the chat log https://chat.openai.com/share/f44dc335-7555-4758-b2f9-487f9409d556 - The output still needs to be cleaned up a tad, but you can see the library here while we hack on getting it to pass CI https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_VCNL4020
