I've tried arguing with chatGPT about this to no avail. Does anyone know if it is possible to add text to an elliptical path in a Javascript function?

Try this out.

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var ellipse = doc.pathItems.ellipse(0, 0, 360, 360);
var textFrame = doc.textFrames.pathText(ellipse);
textFrame.contents = "This is text on a path!";
