Yeap, notwithstanding the shoddy ethics, I don't think it can work on its own.
At most, it will cannibalize entry level jobs (similar to what happened to human computers when digital computers came to life in the 1950s).
But assuming it takes off, the real fun will take place a few years down the road, when most of github will be composed of uncurated stochastic parrot output. I hope none of the resulting SW ends up inside a medical device
@mjgardner @matsuzine @Perl Let's get @EricCarroll to the convo - he had been watching this trendy hype for a while.
@mjgardner @matsuzine @Perl @EricCarroll There is another dimension that should also be considered here, that of productivity. Getting the prompting right for #largelanguagemodel to generate a chunk of code that works & testing said code, may end up taking more time than actually doing the deed by hand. It makes more sense (IMHO as a hobbyist) to have good metadata about functionality for software libraries so that they can be located & reused, with #metaprogramming generates the boilerplate.
