I really doubt it. Or rather, I think thy level of intelligence needed would be so high that chatgpt would be doing all the coding for everything.

  I don't see why Chat GPT would fail at changing print statements to print() method invocations.

You say that, but the 2to3 tool did a brilliant job of doing just that, and as it understood the AST it actually didn't try to bullshit like ChatGPT and Co-Pilot do at time. I use Co-Pilot, it's super helpful but, god it's good at bullshitting. Sometimes you think "wow" but then stop and look what it's done and it's all very wrong, but looks very right. Although that's only like 10% of the time. Im looking forward till they combine Co-Pilot with the static analysis tools you have with statically typed languages, that is going to be so much better.

you people have completely lost it i am shocked to see this level of PHBS (pointed head boss syndrome) in this space. Aren't you people supposed to be technical and whatnot? It's a Stochastic Parrot (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3442188.3445922 https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3442188.3445922) and as such , it can't be trusted with software (nor with anything else bug I digress).

  Is it a stronger argument if there is a proof establishing an upper bounds of "pathological derangement" with regard to large language model AI? Wonder if that would lead to regulations around language model "strength tiers," and whether certain industries will even allow Copilot or ChatGPT-like code.

  What you are seeing now is just the precursor of what there will be. I will get back to you in 20 years and laugh.

    Over the smoldering ruins of our society. It'll be a very bitter laugh.
