Another waste of time... I am always stunned that we are paying people to put up that S H I T together...
This makes as much sense as trying to create a self-driving car by building a humanoid robot and having it imitate the arm and leg movements of human drivers.
It is just another joke/hype from IBM… give it 6 months and everybody will have forgotten about it!
This seems like a way for IBM to hype up technology modernization services maybe more than any other possible scenario to me. I don’t believe this will yield useful code generation that will replace real software developers.
I can see it now, IBM low code / no code platform for migrating COBOL on the IBM Mainframe to really bad javascript on the IBM Cloud.
So would the AI generated code be like:
1) it’s new code that works well in 90-95% of the cases, but fails in unexpected ways and cannot be debugged, you have to generate a new piece of code that works in the above failure but has its own: works 90-95% times and fails in mysterious ways
OR
2) it looks like code, it reads like code but humans can’t figure out what it does
OR
3) it is a collection of blocks of code put in order automatically to do a certain job, that works in 90-95% of cases and…
OR
4) ??
