I did a very non-scientific study of the amount of time programmers actually spend writing code. OK, I just typed “How much of a software developer’s time is spent coding” into the search bar and looked at the top few articles, which gave percentages ranging from 10% to 40%. How much time and effort does that save?

ChatGPT responded with some fairly basic advice about following common Ruby naming conventions and avoiding inline comments (Rubyists used to think that code should be self-documenting. ChatGPT obligingly rewrote the code–again, I probably should have told it not to. A rigorous test suite would have helped.)

When a person clicked “submit,” the website would pass that form data through some backend code to process it—thereby sending an e-mail, creating an order, or storing a record in a database. That code was too trusting, though. Mind you, these documents will spare you in a court of law in the event something goes wrong.

Unexpected outcomes, security, safety, fairness and bias, and privacy are the biggest risks for which adopters are testing. And there are tools for archiving and indexing prompts for reuse, vector databases for retrieving documents that an AI can use to answer a question, and much more. Only 4% pointed to lower head counts.

It seems inappropriate to be talking about AGI when we don’t really have a good definition of “intelligence.” We have a lot of vague notions about the Turing test, but in the final analysis, Turing wasn’t offering a definition of machine intelligence; he was probing the question of what human intelligence means.

Kevlin Henney and I recently discussed whether automated code generation, using some future version of GitHub Copilot or the like, could ever replace higher-level languages. As coding assistants become more accurate, it seems likely to assume that they will eventually stop being “assistants” and take over the job of writing code.

If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve played around with using AI tools like ChatGPT or GitHub Copilot to write code for you. So far I’ve read a gazillion blog posts about people’s experiences with these AI coding assistance tools. or “ha look how incompetent it is … it couldn’t even get my simple question right!”

Some of the steps in AI’s type of supply chain can be tricky to follow, with special gotchas like technology company trade secrets, closed code, and program synthesis—which is the process of AI writing its own code to improve itself. When you dissect AI’s supply chain, at the root, you will find algorithms.
