I am currently building tools for programming and modifying programs with natural language using the OpenAI API and their relevant models (similar to ChatGPT). Especially if you combine the text/instruct model with the coding model and then give specific instructions, it is able to complete many simple coding tasks without me opening an editor. Right now I am focused on something like Codepen but with English specifications only. I believe that I should immediately start leveraging this type of tool in my other projects. Similar to the way you would use a calculator or Google Translate. I believe over the next few years the models will continue to get better and also start to incorporate visual understanding and better reasoning. The point at which it I would consider it poor software engineering to write programs manually is rapidly approaching for many domains.
