Ha yes classic showcase of:
1) obvious green field project 2) well defined spec which will definitely be in the training data 3) an end result which lands you 90% from the finish
Now comes the hard part, the last 10%. Still not impressed here. Since fixing issues in the end was impossible without introducing bugs I have doubts about quality
I'm glad they do call it out in the end. That's fair
We went from barely able to ask these things to write a function to writes a compiler that actually kind of works in under a year. But sure, keep moving the goal posts!
Didn't the Anthropic CEO claim we would be replaced by this AI tech by now? Here's Anthropic moving their own goal post in real time:
2026: https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/ai-ceo-says-softw...
2025: https://fortune.com/2025/03/13/ai-transforming-software-deve...

Many people are convinced that we’re all going to die next year after these things achieve sentience. Can’t wait to see the goalpost shifting when AI 2027 doesn’t pan out.
