Hi all,
Coming a bit late to this thread - many thanks to Toby for starting to
address this important topic in the Carpentries curricula and everyone
for their discussions.
I am a computer scientists but very much a novice when it comes to
generative AI for code - just wanted to share this post on LinkedIn
which I think resonates with much of what has been mentioned on the thread:
https://tinyurl.com/24phuyf9
I liked in particular the analogy with an expert in history of art
creating the generative AI artwork versus someone who does not know "the
language of art" trying to do the same thing.
Best wishes,
Aleks

Hi everyone,
A lot of my attention recently has been focused on the question of
how to discuss generative AI tools for coding in Data Carpentry,
Library Carpentry and Software Carpentry lessons. Many of you have
participated in discussions on this topic, both on Slack and in
themed Community Discussion Sessions in November, January, and
February (with one more still to come on 25 March).
I have now opened a pull request with my first draft of new
content discussing generative AI
<https://github.com/swcarpentry/python-novice-gapminder/pull/695> for
coding on the Software Carpentry /Plotting and Programming with
Python/ lesson repository.
Please give me your feedback, ideally as reviews and comments on
the pull request itself but replies here/sent directly to
tobyhod...@carpentries.org are also okay e.g. if you cannot/are
not comfortable working in GitHub. When this pull request has been
finalised and merged, we will use it as a basis for equivalent
changes across the other core Data Carpentry, Library Carpentry,
and Software Carpentry lessons.
Thanks for everything you do for The Carpentries community!
Toby
