DeepMind's New AI: As Smart As An Engineer...


ace1903:
I live for the day when I will receive problem description in clear English.
Don't understand why it needs to generate code. Wouldn't direct executable be more practical?

No.  Because that machine code wont work in Linux, or on a Mac, or on my Amiga.
Also, what if you as a human observer wants to make your own additions or changes or corrections?

How is that "AI is programming"?

It simply translated already made programed solution by a human from Pseudocode to a specific language syntax.

It is impressive demonstration of natural language processing but AI programmed nothing.

Requirement analysis was already done, detailed algorithm and programming steps devised and described in formal language.
Text on the left IS already whole program written out in formal pseudo language.
Text on the left is what is written by the engineer.

There exists for 30-40 years software that will convert Pascal code to C. This is that, just by using AI.
Impressive in it's own right (natural language processing part) but not "programing"

Programmers job is more like:

CLIENT:  "we have this thing that we do, that nobody here really understands and we would like you to make a computer program for it to do ...stuff??.....No, we cannot explain in detail what it should do, that is why we hired you... If we knew we wouldn't need you, would we?  We expect it next week."...
PROGRAMMER:  :palm:

With that many details ....  >:D

Google AI already has a website designer where you describe within a few sentences what you want and it will design the website code in real time.  Including graphics and apps.
AI exists where you begin a story and they will invent the continuation.
It is that we are moving forward, not that we have reached some unsurpassable plateau.
Mock what you see today and you will be left in the dust just like those who mocked the Atari 2600 and the video game crash back in the 80s as that being the end all ultimate video game experiences.
