ChatGPT is very good at two tasks(and many more): 1. Taking pseudo-code for a well defined task and making a function 2. Translating said function into multiple other languages using idiomatic code. Prompted: "Solve the following problem in Python: Write a function that takes three unsorted lists of integers and returns a median value from the three combined lists" Got the Python function. Then the prompts were: Write the same function in APL, C, etc Final prompt was: Show a sorted list of the programming languages I have mentioned so far Here's a sorted list of the programming languages you have mentioned so far: Ada APL C C# Clojure Go Haskell Java JavaScript Kotlin Lua Perl PHP Prolog Python Ruby Rust Scala Nim (just noticed ChatGPT forgot C++ for which it did give a fine idiomatic answer using standard library) What was impressive not that ChatGPT solved the problem. what was impressive: ChatGPT chose the right data structure automatically(ie, regular C array for C, std::vector for C++, tables for Lua, etc), dealt with type conversion problems used correct style of function naming depending on language Sure tools like C# <-> Java translators are relatively easy and have been around for a while. However to cover such a wide spectrum of programming languages in different programming paradigms is quite fascinating.
