General Discussion

I've coded with AI too, and it's pretty breathtaking. Thanks for putting together this example. I have my IDE linked in real time to an AI via plug-in. After the AI generates the whole program, I can get in and edit the code manually. As I type, it autocompletes practically everything...whole new sections of logic pop up as proposals after I type about four characters. It "reads my mind." Coding is ridiculously easier. And the code's better too.

I think the bright side of AI is something we should be planning, and I don't think we're doing it very well yet. Our leaders don't seem to get it. I'm not sure they even get plain old automation and plain old software and how those affect us all. (Anyone who really understands IT or business and can really lead is probably not going to be too attracted to public service. We've made the job practically untenable.)

I think we're going to need to find a way to tax AI and ensure that it and all automation benefit all people. If we do that, things can work better than they're working now. AI is literally more intelligence in the world.

I think we may already be seeing improvements in the overall wisdom of how people behave. Call me superstitious, but I think a lot of people who needed mentoring (and who really doesn't?) are getting it now. That's usually a good thing, even though sometimes it's a terrible thing.
