ChatGPT fixed my TypeScript errors by putting 'as any' everywhere, how do I undo that properly

Don't remove them at random. Remove them where data enters your app, because that's where the runtime errors come from.

1. Make them visible but not blocking:

   // eslint
   "@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any": "warn"

2. Start with API responses and form data. Give them a real type, ideally parsed:

   const Order = z.object({ id: z.string(), items: z.array(Item) });
   const order = Order.parse(await res.json()); // throws early with a clear message

   Your .map of undefined errors will surface as a parse error at the boundary instead of deep in a component.
3. Where you really don't know the type yet, use unknown, not any. TypeScript forces you to check before use.
4. Fix everything downstream as the errors appear, one file per commit.

212 sounds like a lot, but most come from a handful of untyped functions. Fixing those 10 usually makes half the rest pointless.
