Based on a sample code test, science researchers have found that ChatGPT is one of the best programs to discover and fix coding errors.

Summary

This article by Emily Dreibelbis, writing for PC Mag, makes the following points:
  • The researchers were from Johannes Gutenberg University and University College London.
  • Forty pieces of buggy code were given to four code-fixing systems, including ChatGPT.
  • All four systems used a similar methodology, but ChatGPT’s ability to dialogue with researchers and ask further questions ultimately led to outperforming other AIs.
  • ChatGPT had already learned the answer when someone else asked the same question.
