 // Get the current caret position in the RichTextBox
                TextPointer caretPosition = rtb.CaretPosition;

                // Create a new Run with the typed text
                Run run = new Run(e.Text);

                // Apply formatting (bold) to the Run
                run.FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold;

                // Create a new TextRange from the caret position to the next insertion position
                TextRange insertionRange = new TextRange(caretPosition, caretPosition);

                // Set the text of the insertion range to the typed text
                insertionRange.Text = e.Text;

                // Apply formatting (bold) to the inserted text
                insertionRange.ApplyPropertyValue(TextElement.FontWeightProperty, FontWeights.Bold);

                // Move the caret position to the end of the inserted text
                rtb.CaretPosition = insertionRange.End;

                // Mark the event as handled to prevent the default insertion of the typed text
                e.Handled = true;

                // Mark the event as handled to prevent the default insertion of the typed text
                e.Handled = true;

is it bad to search for answers on SO? you just need to understand that ChatGPT is just a tool and the answers it gives can sometimes be incorrect. Which mean you need to ensure that you take the time to understand the code it gives you. Which honestly, you should be doing with any solutions you find online How much time you spend trying to figure out something yourself is up to you, just don't let GPT become a crutch that you always run to as it would limit your ability to solve things on your own
