I like the talk, and I think it explains the technology very well. I learned the term "slop".
Minor disagreement about the author's optimism regarding code generation:
> You shouldn’t need a computer science degree to automate tedious tasks in your life with a computer.
> For the first time in my career, it feels like we’ve got a tool which, if we figure out how to apply it, can finally help address that problem.
Well, OK, it would be nice if we could figure out a way.
But in my opinion, when you're trying to figure out how to make a task easy to automate for a user, you have to use a lot of judgment regarding what the user's goals are, what tasks can be automated, and what the scope of the task should be. These are not a strong suit of this technology. So, I am not hopeful regarding any general breakthrough.
