> Fortunately, a human will know to fix that broken 4-space indentation and that brace placement before inclusion in the Linux kernel repository. What's your point, that ChatGPT wouldn't know how to do that, especially if the kernel maintainers gave it such feedback? I thought it was clear that it can in fact do that (sometimes by asking clarifying questions, like a human would). I think some of the major things missing in ChatGPT is the ability to interact with a computer directly (including the compiler and checkpatch.pl, and using files for information storage instead of a limited N-token context), as well as interacting with humans by itself (e.g. via email). And sure, it would still have very limited capabilities in many ways, don't get me wrong, as I don't think it could replace a programmer at this point. But I think the gaps are closing rapidly.
