Even the first sentence of the summary is unclear:
> When human programmers have mastered a programming language, it would be easier when they learn a new programming language.
I think they're saying "When human programmers have mastered a programming language, it makes it easier for them to learn a new programming language", but... I'm not entirely sure.
- toast0 3y agoYeah, that's what they're saying. English is not an easy language. "It would be easier to learn a programming language, when you have mastered any other programming language" is clear, IMHO, but flipping the clauses makes it less clear.
- HappMacDonald 3y ago> English is not an easy language. "ChatGPT, please translate my incoherent stream of consciousness into clear English" then review its output like one would a rough draft, and repeat as needed. As far as human languages go, yes English is at least B-tier difficulty. Not least of which due to having the largest working vocabulary on Earth. But for all of the problems that LLMs might have with object permanence and memory and such, I think it's pretty safe to say that GPT3+ has mastered both the commonly used vocabulary and even the most subtle turns of grammar in the English Language. Which is never going to not dumbfound me. O_O
