GPT-4 Designed a Programming Language

Sorry if I am missing something here, but I think we all know well functioning, productive humans, maybe even in our field, who wouldn't have been able to create this language or a similarly well thought out one.

I know a competent man should be able to "change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders [...]" and what not and specialization is for insects, but even on the Mysterious Island not everyone is Cyrus Smith (Harding).

I think you are missing my sarcasm. I don’t think every human can design a well thought out language, let alone an LLM. I was trying to point out that we are more than this. More than what humans are being demoted to in some HN comments recently. My problem is with the some characterizations of humans here.

Don’t bother. Hacker News takes the throne for “I could do this in a weekend” rhetoric.

"in a weekend" now is too slow. They'd have to do it in 5 minutes or even less.
