I can think of two immediate uses for the stable version of whatever comes after GPT-3. A lot of code I write is actually solving the problem, and if I can have some tools to make my code better then I will definitely take them. Having a tool that can suggest certain patterns that are statistically likely to be the right approach would be great. Or maybe I'm using a tricky API that, if misused, is a security vulnerability and a tool can catch then for me because it was trained on many other uses of that API. Or maybe there's a known database of security vulnerabilities with writeups it could be trained on. There's no replacement for domain knowledge, but not everyone is a domain expert and it's better to have tools for this kind of stuff than not. I'd certainly feel happy to have something that _usually_ suggests something correct than have no help at all. A lot of the code I write is also not actually solving a problem, but writing boilerplate nonsense because in a software system that's complicated enough, I can't always "just" solve the problem. Maybe that means generating some data types a certain way because the library I'm using expects them to be there. Or sometimes there's a common (but verbose) pattern for using an API where I can have a bespoke template generated within the context of the other code, then put markers in my editor where it thinks I should double-check that the code is right. There's probably all kinds of other "smart templating/codegen" applications I haven't thought of. I already have tools to help me out with this in the form of autocompletion, templates, static analysis tools, and refactoring tools. But they operate in a different space. I'm excited for a more probabilistic set of new tools to help me do things better and automate some of the boilerplate I need to write today. They may not always be correct, but tools could be built around them to suggest to me when I need to double-check something before simply committing the code. All of this would make me more productive and probably allow for more developers to work in specific domains where they can't today.
