Microsoft thinks it's a good idea. They'll eventually own 49% of ChatGPT
when talks are finalized.

An interesting point of view. We're a very long way from attempting to
write all apps in assembler using this sort of AI. And humans are going to
want to go on reading, editing and understanding code to create whole
programs, whether produced by machine or a human, for a long time yet. When
AI really is advanced enough to be creating an entire complex program in
perfect assembler I think the world will change in so many ways that we'll
have far bigger societal implications to consider than just its impact on
scripting languages.
At the moment I see this as potentially heading towards a position where it
could be quite an aid to scripting languages, both in terms of learning and
helping write code. It might also take the shine out of some no-code
environments as its probably easier to describe what you want your code to
do and get back some nice clear English-like instructions (LiveCode script)
than click on 100 boxes with menus and connectors to set up actions. Used
in the hands of a skilled programmer it may become a particularly
productive combination.
At the end of the day, this sort of AI is clearly going to happen and get
better - whether it comes from OpenAI or someone else. We will have about
as much luck stopping that as stopping a change in the weather. When the
wind changes, it's time to adjust your sails.
Kind regards,

If ChatGPT can write script, it can write machine code.
If it can write machine code, scripting is unnecessary.
If scripting goes, so goes scripting tools.
So before we donate much time to providing index fodder for the owners
of ChatGPT, we might ask whether this is an investment we want to make,
or perhaps at least ask for compensation for having provided the data
that makes ChatGPT valuable for its owners.
