Specifically, could ChatGPT N (for large N) quit the game of generating code in a high-level language like Python, and produce executable machine code directly, like compilers do today? To people who programmed using circuit diagrams and switches, these early languages looked as radical as programming with generative AI looks today.

ChatGPT might simplify common tasks, from doing research to writing essays to basic programming, so many people want to use it to save labor—though getting it to do quality work is more difficult than it seems at first glance. We’ll leave the issue of whether this is “cheating” to the users, their teachers, and their employers.)

An AI might be able to read and interpret a specification (particularly if the specification was written in a machine-readable format—though that would be another form of programming). I’ll grant that AI should be able to do an excellent job of fuzzing , and we’ve seen game playing AI discover “cheats.” I worked in PC games.

Any metric can be gamed (often called Goodhart’s law )—and grades are no exception, gamed both by faculty who need good ratings from students and by students who want good grades from faculty. Assessment is a necessity, and it’s something corporations take very seriously, at least for in-house training programs. Why is that?

What should copyright law mean in the age of artificial intelligence? Is it possible to distinguish between creative output (“Write in the style of Jesmyn Ward”) and actionable output (“Write a program that converts between current prices of currencies and altcoins”)? How do we make sense of this?

Maybe it is, but I still think that AI is best at showing us what intelligence is not. Intelligence isn’t the ability to win Go games, even if you beat champions. (In It’s easy to succumb to “AI is smarter than me,” “this is AGI” thinking. In fact, humans have discovered vulnerabilities in AlphaGo that let beginners defeat it.)

Have we not learned anything since the movie War Games ? Video games already cater to multiple people’s experiences. With the Nintendo Switch or any other gaming system, several people can play together in a joint experience. When we consider the risk associated with an action, we need to understand its privacy implications.

But its important to realize that GPT isnt the only game in town and that models running locally can equal GPT on nontrivial tasks. That definition is applicable to any discipline, including functional programming and (of course) architecture. They made the fan spin and sucked down the battery but nothing extraordinary.

As Dodge, the hyper-successful game developer who is the protagonist of Neal Stephenson’s novel Reamde noted, “you had to get the whole money flow system figured out. Once that was done, everything else would follow.” It led to a remarkable expansion of the opportunities for the monetization of creativity, publishing, and copyright.

Or a text adventure game. GPT-3 provides a base “understanding” of English and several other human languages; the follow-on training on GitHub and StackOverflow provides the ability to write new code in many different programming languages. Programming Models like ChatGPT will play an important role in the future of programming.
