I don't agree with your assessment of AI and programming at all. In fact, I think you're being insidious when framing your skepticism against this using words such as "likewise", making it sound like it has been unanimously agreed upon. It's like me saying "after seeing that the earth is flat, why wouldn't other planets be flat?".
AI is definitely capable of solving novel programming problems and I'm constantly surprised how well Copilot understands the esoteric context of my code.
- nh23423fefe 3y agoThis kind of formless skepticism is never well founded right? GP could've read the papers, or read commentary of the papers, or read about the 13th Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP) contest. Instead, "llms are bad, so isn't this bad too"
- boxed 3y ago> AI is definitely capable of solving novel programming problems I don't believe that. I think you are being fooled by the enormity of the training set, followed by the non-novelty of things you personally haven't seen before. I'm not saying AI tools aren't useful though. I'm just saying they are what they are: a fuzzy search in an enormous problem space. This is impressive and cool, but not the same as being able to solve truly novel problems.
