DeepMind’s AlphaCode is a tool — not a replacement — for human programmers

This article is part of our reviews of AI research papers, a series of posts that explore the latest findings in artificial intelligence. DeepMind is the latest AI research lab to introduce a deep learning model that can generate software source code with remarkable results. Called AlphaCode, the model is based on Transformers, the same architecture OpenAI uses in its code-generation models. Programming is one of the promising applications of deep learning and large language models. The growing demand for programming talent has spurred a race to create tools that can make developers more productive and give non-developers tools to…This story continues at The Next Web https://thenextweb.com/news/deepmind-alphacode-tool-not-replacement-for-human-programmers-syndication
