I've been pretty impressed with chat gpt generating working implementations of various algorithms in different languages. Crucially, it actually knows about algorithms. I was trying to get it to generate some algorithm for calculating concave hulls the other day and ended up learning a thing or two about various algorithms for that in this space. Almost but not quite worked for my use case. It seems limited in the amount of code it can generate in one go. But otherwise, I was pretty impressed.

So, we're not that far off from basically pair programming with an AI that will do most of the boring/tedious work we currently do manually. Something like chat gpt integrated into an IDE could be useful right now.
