Artificial intelligence means everyone can now be a computer programmer as all they need to do is speak to the computer, Nvidia Corp CEO Jensen Huang said on Monday, hailing the end of the "digital divide".
i wish i could remember who said it, but i saw a programmer say something like “chatgpt will now allow people to generate code instead of hiring programmers as long as they can clearly state the functionality they want. in other words, we’re safe”
I once heard about an analogous research project aiming at automatically generating correct application code. All you had to do is describe your application specifications using a new formal language for app specifications.
It would probably reduce the number of people capable of producing apps. A significant portion of programmers don’t know how to write formal specifications.
But I wonder if a large language model could discuss someone’s requirements in a plain-english discussion. Then turn that into a formal specification, that can be turned into code.

“make me a Facebook, but better”
