> code is a much smaller domain than the law I agree, but I'd add – code as a domain is a lot more vast than any AI can currently handle. AIs do well on mainstream languages for which there is lots of open source code examples available. I doubt they'd do so well on some obscure proprietary legacy language. For example, large chunks of the IBM i minicomputer operating system (formerly known as OS/400) are still written in two proprietary PL/I dialects, PL/MI and PL/MP. Both languages are proprietary – the compiler, the documentation, and the code bases are all IBM confidential, nobody outside of IBM is getting to see them (except just maybe under an NDA if you pay $$$$). I wonder how good an AI would go on that code base? I think it would have little hope unless IBM specifically fine-tuned an AI for those languages based on their internal documentation and code.
