I could also write a script downloading and converting all the algorithms. I should do the same to write my PhD thesis and change my job to [one that is manual](https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/is-your-job-safe-this-openai-study-lists-professions-that-could-be-replaced-by-chatgpt-3879562). More seriously, need I remind you where the added value of a developer's work lies? – The implementations proposed by A.I. are often errorful and influenced by mainstream bad practices. I do not know about ChatGPT4, but asking ChatGPT Web to find memory leaks in a C implementation is terrible. They lack computational science context. A.I. answers are limited in the number of characters and will cut any unfitting responses. – Our implementations add complexity analyses and links to similar algorithms. – ZoomRmc found bugs and reported them in the Nim's compiler GitHub repo. Can a bot do that reliably? – We provided GitHub actions to streamline the usage of tools like nimpretty. – A.I. queries need massive servers running and have thus a significantly more impactful carbon footprint than a handful of developers. I might spend more time improving A.I. answers than writing them directly (with GitHub Copilot :p).
