If AI is already good at this, then it will naturally lead programmers who may not be good in that respect in that direction anyway via the code that it generates. In other words, …

The point is the details of the implementation don't matter that much anymore. It's just something for the AI to work out — much like assembly code generation is for compilers.

Maybe that's what most programmers using hybrid languages are secretly thinking.

That's not what I asked.

One might expect this since functional programmers pride themselves on the elegance of their code while programmers using hybrid languages just want to get the code working — elega…

I think it is great that mathematicians are having an existential crisis due to major recent AI breakthroughs in math research. Mathematicians are considered the smartest people an…

Given that NeXTSTEP saved Apple, one might wonder whether Linux could have saved Commodore. What do you think?

Maybe mathematicians will no longer seem like the smartest people? Maybe people who struggled with math in school will no longer feel shame decades later?

I think for older programmers/CS academics, the second most surprising thing about the ChatGPT breakthrough in 2022 was that people cared about AI safety.

Maybe they have seen AI fail for so long due to poor performance that it makes AI safety experts seem like they are vastly overestimating what AI can do?
