Come talk to me when it can reverse engineer as good as Ken Shirriff, develop a complete understanding of the whole codebase, and generate authoritatively accurate and useful output. Oh, and uncover bugs while it's at it.
- layer8 4y agoThis still wouldn’t be enough, because writing good documentation usually requires knowing contextual information not contained in the code base.
- coolspot 4y ago> Come talk to me when it can… I am afraid no one will come talk to you when that happens.
- awestroke 4y agoOh, so it's only interesting when it has completely surpassed even the smartest human in intelligence? When that happens, why would anybody bring it to you? When that happens, why would humans be needed for anything?
- rkagerer 4y agoPerhaps I was a little dramatic, but my impression is today's AI is not well suited for this task. What I laid out is slightly above my expectations for a human who does the job for me today (yes, my bar is fairly high) and the point is I won't get excited until the shiny new tech you want to replace that human with does a better job than they do. In the meantime I'd prefer not to be subjected to served-from-a-can, machine-generated content in the code I'm trying to grok.
