Oh, one of this new age bullshit generators. How cute!
But: As long as the machine doesn't understand what it does this won't work—and current reality is that machines are still light-years away form actually understanding stuff.
Also besides it's very funny to watch one of those bullshit generators I'm not sure where the point is in trying to let it generate code. It's obvious it won't produce anything of value or even usable (besides the most trivial cases where it had seen already a valid answer). Especially as writing a machine understandable specification of what at computer should do is actually CODE… Maybe some don't know but: Just typing in the code is not what developers usually get payed for! ;-)
- drdeca 5y agoDid you read it? Of course, it doesn’t write any novel sophisticated algorithm. If it had, I would be panicking. But most of the completions appear to be both syntactically valid, and take some relevant steps relating to the task described in the comment. If nothing else, it may be helpful as another way to autocomplete very simple code.
