For all those believers in the power of AI who tested it in modifying their front-ends and writing a Python script, I have a test: ask AI to write an operating system kernel or a database. Of course, something simple.
I never seen AI being used in writing system software. Perhaps there is a reason behind it?
- uberswe 2y agoFrom experience no AI solution is consistently making fault free code of any kind when you need more than a snippet. Personally I have been making Velocity Proxy plugins for Minecraft where ChatGPT generates the bulk of the plugin and I fix all the incorrect imports, this is Java. My latest project was a whitelist plugin that uses Discord roles to allow/deny players to join.

If you want it to do anything correctly you need to do a thought experiment, solve the problem at a 9,000ft view, and hold its hand through implementation. If you do that there's nothing it cannot do. However, if you're expecting it to write an entire OS from a single prompt it's going to fail just as any human would also fail. Complex software problems are solved incrementally through planning. If you do all of that planning its not hard to get LLMs to do just about anything.
