Here's a
TedTalk about how AI "will soon" be able to allow anyone to 'write' a program (memories of HyperTalk/AppleScript?). I haven't even watched the whole vid yet. I got sidetracked when the presenter was glowingly praising the first attempts back in 2020. "It solved 93% of [the code] during the first few takes." I would have been happy to have had that score in the two 5-hour courses I had as a freshmen!!
Still, I think 99.99% correct will still be frustrating to users. That might even be good enough for the IRS, as long as the ererz benefit them!
My sure that Copilot (the AI powered programming platform) has become much, much better. Maybe even above 99%?
I am still amazed that folks seem to think that "language", written and especially spoken(!) is the best way to 'communicate'.
Don'tAsk me about a 50+ hour course my wife is (still) taking and how the forms are created in Word and then dumped into a WordPress themed site. The multi-page questionnaires must be filled out on a "web page" and then "saved" which then creates a PDF. Those files then must be manually emailed to the 'instructors'. It took my wife several days to discover that closing the form, without saving, completely erased all her work. And, even if she saved her not-quite-completed form, working on that PDF in Preview present additional problems because the original text entry boxes sometimes had unknown size or number of lines limits. I can guaranty any "chat" would have melted the "lines of communications"!
She is already afraid of "the computer" and I am losing the battle to convince her that there is a difference between "the computer" and the "program".
I have found that Alprazolam is beneficial.
