I'm not so sure it has the smarts today to generate assembly
language statements that are correct and logical until we go
through another generation or two (Versions in product speak).
I've been looking at it in reading IRS alc and trying to turn
that in to Java. I was told the java was nearly undecipherable by
the people who were well versed in java. And even then, they were
not able to make some changes to it that did what they wanted.
Meanwhile, I'm afraid of AI becoming too "good". I keep
remembering the books I read in HS from Isaac Asimov and
postitronic brains and having to implement the rules of robotics.
Basically, I see a bad moon rising....

The issues generating HLASM code are real, but that stems from inadequate data
during training rather than design defects.

The same people who said the mainframe is dead in 1993, are likely the same
ones now downplaying AI. NVIDIA is the highest market cap company that ever
existed. What do they make? Graphics Processing Units for AI data centers. Who
is buying them? The largest tech companies in the world. AI is here and it’s
going to impact everything.

How good is the training? Can it generate a working HLASM program? Locate
specific editions of PoOps?
i tried CoPilot only because it was part of my mandatory training this year. i
was curious whether it would mess up as badly as ChaatGPT (It's a typo. That's
my story and I'm sticking to it.)

How about the best of both worlds - google AI? I went searching for a very specific "can I do
this" type question regarding surcharges on retail purchases with credit cards and a specific CC
clearinghouse. Google AI came back with a "yes you can do that" and about 3 items down the hit
list, the specific clearing house' web site pops up with "no you can't do that".

Let’s be honest. It’s not sentient. Processed a lot of information and
indexes it to define relationships and is a better search than google.
Apart from that I think people are expecting perfection but it is imperfect but
pretty dang impressive
