While machine learning has advanced by leaps and bounds, it’s hard to create an AI that’s good at more than one thing. So, a machine could be trained with data to handle one class of programming challenges, but it would fail when given a different problem to tackle. So, the team decided to skip all the training on algorithms and code structure, instead treating it more like a translation problem.

Discussion
- For me, the best use of this article is a class discussion around what it means when you can just ask an AI to write code for you.
Good prompt questions are:
“Does this mean you don’t yourself need to know how to code?”
“Is this similar, or not similar, to using a calculator to do math? (you don’t need to know now the calculator works, just that it does)?
“Who looses a job with this technology?”
“What are the new jobs created with this technology?”
