Kevlin Henney and I were riffing on some ideas about GitHub Copilot , the tool for automatically generating code base on GPT-3’s language model, trained on the body of code that’s in GitHub. First, we wondered about code quality. We know how to test whether or not code is correct (at least up to a certain limit).
