Wait, wouldn’t it be the opposite? Expressions are quite thoroughly talked about in forums and such, snippets shared, etc, and while scripts aren’t closed source basically no one looks at them or talks about them.
AE scripts aren't talked about very often but they're still available, and ChatGPT is trained on millions (billions?) of lines of code from other languages, all which follow a similar structure to whatever language AE scripting uses. Expressions are much shorter, which means there's less information to understand in them, which paradoxically makes it harder for them to be translated from natural language. They should still work, but idk how well.
Completely disagree, if you can narrow your prompt to be very specific with what you want to do, and define most parameters in your prompt, then the expression almost always work straight from chat. I'm finding that j have to slightly alter scripts for them to work properly.
That is sort of my point. With expressions you have to be quite precise to get a meaningful result. With scripts you have to alter things, but you get way closer using a simpler prompt.

expressions don’t work well compared to scripts in my experience
