What makes me most excited about this is that it uses LLMs in a way that the result (a computer program) is still understandable and editable (hackable).
Instead of having an AI model output some kind of "black-box conclusion" on a data set / question, it can output code that we can inspect, improve, and learn from. Using LLMs in this way still keeps us as users "in control" - and I think it's a promising path for responsible AI.
I've done some experiments[1] adding ChatGPT-like functionality to my open source Typescript Notebook environment[2] back in december, and hope to revisit this soon :)

- derwiki 3y agoI completely agree that the best LLM output is something that is still understandable/hackable -- and maybe even _needs_ further hacking. That's what I tell people when they say "I heard AI is replacing programmers."
- whitemary 3y agoIn the aggregate, it is in fact replacing programmers; just not all of them.
