- Communicating with AI
- Sometimes, the easiest way to communicate with AI is not through natural language, but by showing an example.
Other methods, like dragging and dropping or drawing, might be more effective depending on the task.

Is the step of creation going to be more and more natural language is the goal versus with actual language?

I think sometimes. I don’t think it’s going to be the case that all of programming will be natural language. And the reason for that is, you know, if I’m pair programming with Swala and Swala is at the computer and the keyboard. And sometimes if I’m like driving, I want to say to Swala, hey, like implement this function. And that works. And then sometimes it’s just so annoying to explain to Swala what I want him to do. And so I actually take over the keyboard and I show him, I write like part of the example and then it makes sense. And that’s the easiest way to communicate. And so I think that’s also the case for AI. Like sometimes the easiest way to communicate with the AI will be to show an example and then it goes and does the thing everywhere else. Or sometimes if you’re making a website, for example, the easiest way to show to the AI what you want is not to tell it what to do, but, you know, drag things around or draw things. And yeah, and like maybe eventually we will get to like brain machine interfaces or whatever, and you can like understand what you’re thinking. And so I think natural language will have a place. I think it will not, definitely not be the way most people program most of the time.

I’m really feeling the AGI with this editor.
