You can also ask Google to produce working code for you, it’s a miracle.

What you are looking at is mangled other people’s work. Great. Thanks AI, for digging it up, but let’s not get too excited here.

I’ll be getting excited when we give it some first principles and it can actually learn on its own.

Isn't that AGI?

I completely disagree with this viewpoint. I've created terminal games with my own rules, and that shows me the tool can take what it knows about Rust and assemble code to complete a task. It's essentially doing the same thing a human would.

While I understand the criticism, I sometimes feel that the cynical perspective we bring into these discussions prevents us from offering more meaningful critique.

I can too (probably; I don’t know enough about Rust) but the command line tools that I’ve tried to build in Python are severely limited in the scope of their capabilities. IOW, trying to generate or work with a non-trivial project has been, for me thus far, impossible.

If your Rust tools are truly non-trivial, I’d love to know /how/ you prompted ChatGPT to accomplish what you want—ideally with chat session transcripts that include the generated artifacts.

I recognize that you may not want or be able to share such things; if that’s the case, can you share or discuss the resources you used in order to learn how to do it? I’ve not yet been able to find any resources that demonstrate what I’d consider to be non-trivial and I’m hoping that’s only a failure of my Google-fu rather than an indictment of the purported capabilities of these models.

Ill be more than happy to do it. Would you mind sharing your email?

Ohh, that’d be awesome! Thank you! I’m krogfot at proton.me
