I have noticed a huge improvement in ChatGPTs coding abilities having an interpreter to check its work. I expect we will be able to bring a similar feedback loop to hardware once we can integrate things like simulation and equations. Also having modules that are tricky to configure incorrectly.

The performance of ChatGPT (4) changes frequently. Lately it has been crazy good. I fed it a non-trivial but naïvely written (and thus slow) numerical algorithm written in Python yesterday. I then told it to vectorize, which worked and was both correct and several orders of magnitude faster. Then parallelize. Faster yet, and still correct. Pretty amazing.

Just an anecdote.

I’ve noticed the opposite with chatgpt.

To be fair, idk how much elixir code is in the training set.

yeah I have only really used it for simple python things, its pretty good at that.
