        I am excited to think the day may come soon when you can explain in ordinary language how you want a program to function and an AI agent will write the code for you!

        And when that code fails, will a human be able to understand why?

        If the code fails we won't have to know why. We'll just look at what happened and ask for it again a little differently, repeatedly, until it comes out right. Kind of like when you're trying to explain something to someone.

        I wouldn't want to drive a car or operate a computer that works like this. Imagine one day all the cars decide to turn left at the same time. Because of a glitch in neural network. What do you do then? Let it relearn until that doesn't happen? What about the next time?

        I do think there is an important discussion to be had about what judgements typically made by humans should be instead made by AI agents

        I don't have a problem with that. I have a problem with not knowing how things work on the basic level. And current neural networks is a shitty way of doing things. I hope we switch to something else before automated cars and everything else is out.

        They will be a great addition in very specific areas, but the VAST majority of problem solving required will always come down to a set of business rules because HUMANS are the limiting factor that always has to use the result as a tool

        Yeah but no. As a computer scientist of 20 years, neural networks will only ever work for thingswe as humans can work out the answers to by 3 years of age (visual recognition), & they immediately fall apart the second you introduce anything slightly out of its training.

        In 30 years of programming I've seen a lot of fashions & hypes passing by. They all follow this design pattern: "I came, I saw, I left."

        "...we specify some constraints on the behavior of a desirable program..." is programming. Sure, higher level languages are desirable. But there are limits. Remember, COBOL was to allow accountants to program.

        Even the vaunted singularity will NEVER happen, as it either requires us to know how to learn ourselves, or we just push simulations through a digital form of evolution and there is no guarantee of what comes out the other side. This is all just voodoo magic, no pragmatism at all

        This is not new. Neural networks have been used for at least 10-20 years to solve certain problems out there.

        Neural-Fuzzy programming (reinforcement learning) with a random signal (using Monte Carlo Methods) does indeed work and will produce solutions that humans cannot even think of. The time to learn depends a lot on the resolution of the input space, but it is extremely powerful.
