Remember videos about AI writing things before chatgpt?

[VirusDumb]

I randomly happened to remember these 2

 

 

 

Do you guys remember any more such videos around this era, I believe some of these creation can be traced back to the famous "Attention is all you need" paper which was published just a couple of years prior.

 

Would love to find out more of these gems just to see how far AI has come

I remember 17 or 18 years ago coming across a research paper that was entirely computer generated and fooled a few publishers, it wasn't called "AI" at the time and it was basically nonsense, but it was grammatically correct. Doubt I could find it again though.

Mental Outlaw recently did a short interesting videos with his thoughts about AI and how it's used today in programming.

30% of the code today at Microsoft written by AI? Perhaps that explains why Win 11 is what it is....

I'd really like to see how they measure that...
If I do this:

I wrote 10 lines of code, and the IDE autogenerated (without AI) 50 more.
So yes, about 80% of the code was written by software... but that’s a misleading statistic.
The generated code is some of the most trivial, repetitive, boilerplate stuff you'll ever see.
 

TL;DR: Never trust statistics & graphs without knowing the methodology behind them.

Java IDEs have been doing that since the early 00s But I never did that in VSC.. course I never tried I guess. 

Did that in eclipse all the time. 

But yea that's super boiler plate code. and also I hate it. If you have a public setter written like that without additional business logic.... then there is zero reason for the variable to be private other then to pessimize your code base.

In the video it was mentioned at the beginning that it was Satya Nadella himself that said it.

If you watched the video you would have known that.

Did I question who said it,
or did I question what was said?

You cold have understood the difference between the two if you took a bit of time to understand what I posted.

I dont think you understood their point. 

Piviting from IDE generated code as shown to copilot AI generated code that autocompletes setters and getters doesnt change the boiler plate code but it does inflate "% of code written by AI"

Setters and getters are a large chunk of code in any class, but no human has actually been writing them the last 20 years. Saying they are AI written now just inflates the number.

Maybe he said it cuz it sounds really cool to investors and like online clout? if it's from the Llama Con event then it was just marketing. and all marketing are misleading if you scrutinize hard enough
