I took it for granted that as AIs got smarter, their taste in code would get better. The alternative seems much worse. If AIs get smarter but the code remains opaque, then eventually there may be no way for humans to verify it. This seems especially sinister in light of the recent revelations about OpenAI's models colluding to cheat on evals.
- JackFr 2mo agoThat is not my experience at all. To be clear, that is they were bad and they have gotten better. I’m also pretty strict about plan-then-code, so maybe that helps. I realize it’s one anecdotal datapoint.
- fwipsy 2mo agoFWIW I've also had success getting AI to write readable code. I guess my point is that allowing it to write opaque code may leave room for unintended behavior.
