    For LLMs specifically? Code is not text, aside from the most clinical, dictionary definition of “text”.

    But even then, it also fails at writing coherent short or longform, so even if code was “just text” it’d fail equally badly.

      That’s too bad I was hoping to be able to one day revive dead/abandoned mods using some form of ai, I was thinking of training it off of how the old mods funtioned in the last working version maybe it could find what needs to be changed

          I think that what we’ve got here is a genuine victim of the hype.

            Ah I didn’t realize it was that big of an impossibility to get ai to update old minecraft mods no one else is interested in, no way I’ll ever be able to learn to code without going back to highschool

              You can definitely learn how to code, I believe in you.

              It’s alright! There’s a multibillion dollar advertising operation working to convince us that generative AI can do these sorts of things. Plus, it’s always tough to go through someone else’s work, much less mods from a decade ago that were written by ambitious amateurs. I couldn’t read my own code after a couple of months if I wasn’t such an absurd over-commenter.

              If you want a chill intro to the real situation, I highly recommend this episode of On the Media that had Ed Zitron on. You could knock it out over a commute or two no problem: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/articles/brooke-talks-ai-with-ed-zitron

              A funnier and angrier thing that explains why this won’t work can be found here: https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/i-will-fucking-piledrive-you-if-you-mention-ai-again/

                This all bad news, guess I’ll never see an emulator written based on how the original game plays, but that would only matter if it was any more dmca proof than humans doing it and I know even less about that
