I would much rather have an AI that is capable of interpreting what I say as code. So if I say: Build me a class which computes the larger of two integers. The AI is smart enough to write it.

This is exactly how it works. Incredible. Checkout the mirror on Twitter shared by +corbins. https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1OyKAYWPRrWKb

Kevin Scott demos a new AI that is writing code in collaboration with a developer... very cool!

Please post these in a form that doesn't require jumping through complex hoops to watch or read. If that means waiting until they're uploaded to a more accessible place, that's fine. On HN there's no harm in waiting. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Also, please don't rewrite titles to make them baity. That's against the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Edit: other users have helpfully posted a link to the video that anyone can view, so we've switched to that from https://mybuild.microsoft.com/sessions/6c6ecd46-c39c-49d8-ba... and restored the submission.

Wow, this has the ability to be a total gamechanger. You have to be really observant about the bugs though, I would have totally missed the one with the price discount without executing it.

By lowering the barrier of entry of programming further, I wonder if we'll see more bugs (like the price discount) as a result of this?

Amazing! So the developer's role will shift to: 1) writing good enough descriptions of the code to be generated by the AI model 2) fixing any little issues in the generated code

Yeah, I guess developers will have to all become data scientists to help train these A.I's to write better code :-) Perhaps there will be a new business model around selling your higher quality code to help train the A.I to be better and better... so we need to label code "good" and "crap" so the A.I. can avoid learning from crappy code :-)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Video should be there but their site is frustrating. Both for visibility and reliability.

Maybe their AI can whip up something better soon.

ha ha, maybe we'll have a.i. hackathons soon :-)
