“Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that 20%-30% of code inside the
company’s repositories was “written by software” — meaning AI — during a
fireside chat with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg at Meta’s LlamaCon
conference on Tuesday.”
“Nadella gave the figure after Zuckerberg asked roughly how much of
Microsoft’s code is AI-generated today. The Microsoft CEO said the
company was seeing mixed results in AI-generated code across different
languages, with more progress in Python and less in C++.”
Currently all my C++ code is written with the help of AI (Github
copilot). It basically replaces some googling. some find-and-replace and
some recorded macros (which Visual Studio ditched several years ago) and
sometimes offers some interesting code proposals. Still, at the moment I
would say it is ca 50-50, I am not exactly sure if the overall effort of
checking and fixing its code takes less time than figuring the correct
approach out myself. At least it feels like communicating with someone
who understands vaguely what I am doing for living! Hey, that's
something ;-)
It is already demonstrated in CSCall++'s OOP idea in ClassGuidelines.txt (about
the design of class)
https://sourceforge.net/projects/cscall/files/MisFiles/ClassGuidelines.txt/download50% of programming task can be done mechanically, others are mostly about the
desired algorithm of solving problems.
It is all about correctness ... you need to firstly define what the correct is.
I don't use 'AI' to generate code because my feeling is that the amount of task
is greater (and the gain is less) than following the class guidelines.
And, from my understanding, 'AI' cannot solve O(2^N) problems. But that is only
necessary when Ptime-algorithm is required. Real program need not be a Ptime-algorithm.
