Isn't this the same problem that Github Copilot has?
Fundamentally it has no idea whether code works. It doesn't even know what the problem is.
It just spits out things that are similar to things its seen before, including buggy code from Github repositories.
Not sure why it's so popular. I guess it helps you write status quo code faster (the status quo being buggy and slow) -- I would rather it help us write better code.
- KKKKkkkk1 4y agoI work with a system similar to Copilot and find it helpful. It memorizes APIs and code patterns so that I don't have to. I don't expect it to solve algorithmic problems for me. It's a better version of autocomplete, which is a feature that programmers have been using in their IDEs since the 90s.
