To me, it sounds more like claiming that AI writes better code than Linus Torvalds because a group of random non-programmers preferred reading simple AI-generated Python over Linux kernel C code.
- NeutralCrane 2y agoNot sure that I agree with this metaphor, as the utility of code is both subjective (readability) and objective (performance). There are objective ways in which C code simply can’t be matched by a Python implementation. If they were equivalent in terms of performance, I think use of C would crater. With poetry, the “utility” is entirely the subjective experience of the reader. There is no objective component.
