It’s trained on a subset of all public human-created code.
That’s why it’s possible to be better than the average human.
If it was trained on all code ever written (public and private) and weighted equally, then it would generate pretty close to average human code (or more like a mode with the most common answer prevailing).
- bee_rider 5y agoDoes this seem to indicate that the comments in Github codes are better than average? I'd believe that. I suspect lots of people have their personal "tiny perfect programs I'd like to be able to write at work" up on github.
- awb 5y agoSounds reasonable to me. Also, with AI training, there’s usually a human in the loop somewhere classifying. So, presumably there were developers rating code and providing feedback for the AI until it learned to recognize good code on its own.
