Did you read the code it generated? It doesnt do anything. Its just a list of do_thing1(), do_thing2(), etc. When asked to elaborate more it just says ok do_thing1() is made up of do_thing1a(), do_thing1b(), etc but again gives no actual code to the functions.
I am certainly willing to believe these models can write trivial functional code such as generating an example of a well known algorithm with lots of open source code for the model to ingest. I'm not convinced at all that it can write non trivial code to do new things.
- phtrivier 4y agoI agree the efforts would not be immediately fruitful, but they will start soon. And it's going to be a Dilbert-level running gag for a while to have clueless managers ask "could we do this cheaper with GPT3 ?". Then, at some point, the answer will be a resounding "Sure, we could do a cheaper and _crappier_ version with GPT3, but..." and then some people are out of work for a while.
