How could this AI know what software to write if "we" were no longer involved? If "we" were involved, how would this involvement be qualitatively different that software development is today?
My point is that we would still have to solve the same human-based problems and translate those solutions into a form that a computer program could understand unambiguously. All an AI would do is allow the unambiguous language we translate our solutions into to be more abstract. The specification of the solution would still have to be precise and unambiguous if we want the resulting software to solve the intended problem in the intended way. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Surratt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 08, 2004 3:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [XP] Pair Programming with AI But if we had an AI that could write code, we wouldn't need to write software anymore. -- e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] BLOG: http://rattsnest.blogspot.com/ To Post a message, send it to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe, send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ad-free courtesy of objectmentor.com Yahoo!
