ChatGPT 'suggests' there is a sub-tab in the Debug tab where I can manually insert code while stepping through debugging but I can't find anything and I need to insert update() every step to see changes to my display since it doesn't seem to do it automatically.
Can I manually insert code into a console while stepping-through the debugger?

I think you can evaluate expressions with the debugger (unless I'm confusing the Godot debugger with a different one), but you can't insert code.
CharGPT and Gemini are very useful, but they sometimes invent things that don't exist.
Shadowphile I'll just link this here: ChatGPT is bullshit
Don't listen to xyz. He doesn't know what he's taking about.

It's good for a lot of stuff if you know to take it with a grain of salt. (just like humans lol)
And I did say 'suggest'.

Specifically things that are logical or specific:; it can't do precise operations like keep track of the number of fingers on a hand from images alone. People aren't computers but we still manage to 'calculate' with our brainy neural-networks but unlike computers we can make mistakes so we are really simulating calculations. Some people have amazing simulators and others are born with a simulator made of Lincoln Logs.

Shadowphile Sadly it can't problem solve. Just like most humans who were duped into thinking it can. It's a match made in heaven.
Whenever "ai" is discussed I get inspired to have a bit of fun with it:

Here's another fun one. I sure do have a lot of luck in causing the bot to completely fail, given how clueless I am about LLMs 
xyz youre just too smart for even humans, staph pls..
As for jeepeety, last time i checked they been training on old docs, so not sure you can trust the knowledge about godot that evolves every day..

This guy has a console that he uses to inject values and you can see results.. not sure how to summon this console
kuligs2 Looks like a custom plugin. You can parse and execute expressions from script: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_expression.html
func foo():
print("HEY")
func _ready():
var e = Expression.new()
e.parse("foo()")
e.execute([], self)- Edited
kuligs2 To make a console you need a LineEdit to enter commands and a TextEdit to echo them out. Put them in a window and there's your console.
To execute exactly what the guy in the video is executing:
func spawn_grenade(pos):
print("spawning grenade at: ", pos)
func _ready():
var e = Expression.new()
var command = "spawn_grenade($SomeNode.position + $SomeNode/Child.position)"
command = command.replace("$", "get_node(\"")
command = command.replace(".", "\")." )
e.parse(command)
e.execute([], self)You can of course get much more sophisticated with a bit of help from regex.
