For people who follow this stuff, how viable is this sort of thing for simple program interfaces? Ie a flexible CLI?
I ask because while this thread is rightfully picking apart the bots ability to converse in the Turing sense, i am sitting here thinking it looks amazingly good at determining context, meaning, maybe even intent.
Throw that infront of a small local search engine of commands and parameters and it seems really neat.
Doubly so if you can train aliases into it locally, and easily. Ie Rather than full conversations to execute a command, can i briefly type something that's command-like but may not be exactly perfect as CLIs require? Ie could it turn a mistaken `gitls` into `git ls` reliably? Could it `curl localhost:8080 with a json object and the field foo: bar`? What about knowing that `rm -rf/` isn't likely a typo for `rm -rf /` but instead `rm -rf .`. And etc
It feels like we're far from AI, of course, but weirdly close to CLIs and Command Prompts changing. I wish i could build these sorts of models locally. I'd be super interested in this space.
- galdosdi 4y agoThe same insight you're expressing here can also be applied to search engines. I think most would agree there's currently an opportunity for better search engines, much as there was just before Google was born.

- sidlls 4y agoOh it was fun for a few exchanges, but the thing seemed incapable of deviating from its topic no matter what I did.
- TaylorAlexander 4y agoIn my case it was incapable of answering some very simple questions. Pure frustration for me! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32360850 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32360850
