Computer Programmers

Some onlookers have wondered whether AI chatbots are one the verge of automating large parts of the computer programming workforce. Recent years have seen the emergence of platforms like AlphaCode, which is said to be able “compete with humans at solving simple computer-science problems.” At the same time, chatbots like ChatGPT have also shown promise in being able to automate certain parts of the coding process.
But, again, ChatGPT doesn’t seem to be able to do this job very well yet. The chat app was banned from Stack Overflow for its penchant for spouting off about stuff that sounded correct but was actually garbled nonsense.
